My Premier League Training Experience | How To Train Like A Premier League Footballer

Recently I was given a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel down to to two premier league training facilities to endure a premier league footballer's typical full day of training. First we travel to Southampton Football club, to meet with the head nutritionist, followed by a workout with the strength and conditioning coaches, then a technical session out on the pitch, ending with a full recovery session. Day two takes us to Brighton and Hove Albion, where we get a striker specific training session with none other than Allan Russell, England's head attacking coach.

So much quality info in this video guys, and if you have aspirations of playing at the highest level, the advice in this video is from actual premier league professionals that you can apply to your daily routines to take your performance to another level. I was very fortunate to get this experience and excited that I can share it with you all. Enjoy!

[@brandonbarrales6800]

I was wondering as a footballer yourself what would you say you lack to play at the highest level I think your a great player but I usually see you sticking with lower leagues and not attempting the jump is it the opportunity or is it other aspects of your game and thanks goodluck 🖒

[@raven2dove]

Thank you so very much!

[@devapandey3952]

You remember all the training exercise so add those drills in next video please

[@AmadeoAbrogena]

7mlc amazing content Michael thank you! Learnt a lot about the nutrition side of football. Happy that you had an awesome experience.

[@phantomred2]

amazing content really happy you shared this information

[@josevillanueva3104]

I learned to hydrate a lot, never eat 2 hours before training, replace white carbs with brown carbs,do 3 sets of 5 for most gym work,do active recovery like for example bike for 7 minutes, and 1 gram of protein for every pound, ahh so many gold nuggets thank you

[@7mlc]

Great to hear you took so much away from it mate!

[@erikwold2179]

Have a big meal 2 hours before working out, but also have a small snack about 15 minutes before. For example a fruit or a granola bar. A lot of footballers snack during half-time as well for example, which is smart so you don’t get burned out

[@josevillanueva3104]

d obianuli yes indeed, soccer players need to be powerful and explosive

[@MLGRDR]

@@josevillanueva3104 Hey, my name is Jose Villanueva too! Good luck in your training

[@MLGRDR]

Also, you should mix some explosive sprint workouts and endurance runs to your training schedule. You'll get good stamina, and the explosiveness that you need. Maybe one of each once a week?

[@deepakdinesh2445]

This channel needs a lot more recognition.

[@7mlc]

Appreciate that Deepak!

[@omalone1169]

Your work ethic is just simply amazing. Not only do you train consistently all the time, but you even take notes when invited to a premier league facility. You are truly inspiring mate, thanks for doing what you do and giving all of us viewers this awesome information. Can't wait to see you play for England at the world cup in 2022 :D

[@7mlc]

Haha, unfortunately it's extremely unlikely that I would play in the World Cup without playing in the top division of a major league in Europe. Happy to hear the content helps, plenty more on the way! Thank you for the support.

[@haydenmann1644]

7mlc go for it, think about how Jamie Vardy turned his career around. You got this

[@chrismascarenhas1059]

[@ryan_conwayy]

@@7mlc you can do anything you like if you never give up

[@omprakash1170]

How can someone dislike any of his videos? He is very informative and he gets straight to the point unlike other football youtube channels who ramble for a bit before getting to the point.

[@joshuacarrozza8886]

Thank God, this is the type of insight that all footballers need. It’s not just what happens on the pitch, it’s how yo conduct yourself off it. Great video Michael ⚽️❤️🔥

[@davidtriana1749]

This is such a helpful video gonna be watching this man way more

[@718shahid]

You always come with innovative information. Every video is different and updated. This is the best video so far.I would like to ask you one question. Did you see them taking protein shakes? Or they just take it from fish and lean meat or other sources?

[@7mlc]

Thank you mate! They really try to get their protein sources from natural foods, that's where you will find the highest quality of protein. But if they need a little extra protein or weren't able to get enough from their meals, they will have supplements like bars or shakes to make up the difference.

[@Avbomb22]

Awesome video.

[@7mlc]

Thanks mate!

[@apurvavskr]

This is the best video 7mlc has uploaded so far. No doubt about that!

[@theproartistofnayib9451]

[@7mlc]

Always welcome mate!

[@nigela1867]

Amazing information there! Never knew that the body could only take 30-40g of protein in one meal.

[@7mlc]

Glad to give you some new information mate!

[@tumbopipa2443]

This has been ingrained into the fitness industry but there's doubt about whether it's actually true. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3595342/ 'We conclude that there is no practical upper limit to the anabolic response to protein or amino acid intake in the context of a meal' 'This perspective is supported by a recent publication in this journal (22) in which consumption of 80% of the 1.5 gram protein/kg BW/day in a single meal was more anabolic than spreading the same amount of protein intake throughout the day. If the limit to the maximal anabolic response of 30 gram/meal, the approach of providing most protein in one meal would have been unsuccessful in achieving the optimal anabolic response. The practical implication of this conclusion is that protein nutrition can be improved by increasing the protein intake at breakfast and lunch and maintaining a high amount of protein intake with dinner, or increasing the amount of protein eaten with dinner if that is more convenient. Alternatively, replacing low quality proteins with high quality proteins, containing higher levels of a balanced essential amino acid mixture, will additionally stimulate protein anabolism.' Nevertheless it's probably a good idea to spread your meals out anyway so that you have a consistent supply of energy throughout the day.

The weird thing here is that i already knew all of this shit and have been using it since i was 15-16 im now 17 anyone watching this vid at a young age would highly recommend to start applying this as much as you can right now it dosent matter if your 10 11 12 etc start today so you can make it a habit

[@acidicturtle8234]

Lol leister didn’t not seem to be imitated by the away changing room. They beat them 9-0🤣🤣

[@chariotdriver6172]

And they only got three points for it which funnily enough is what the Saints got when the beat Leicester later in the season lol lol

7mlc and others I have a really important question I am 16 and I play for a academy team here in America Ga and I am a good player and the thing is I am moving to London to live with my uncle to play soccer. Can I still play for a academy club there or is it too late?

[@7mlc]

It's not too late, you just need to be good enough.

[@barryhassimiou5608]

Ok thank you also I googled but didn’t find any research is there like any soccer activities there like teams or clubs that’s you can join without paying fees and become professional in London

[@nadiaasif6887]

Typical Barry Go to a youth club. Most academies have trials and if you play good in them they accept you as a player and you train with them

[@barryhassimiou5608]

Nadia Asif thank you for the information do you know if there are any youth team or academies that you don’t have to pay to play

[@barryhassimiou5608]

And also do you have Facebook or Instagram where we can talk more about this information
