In today's video I show you my full daily routine as a footballer. From training sessions, gym workouts and even the meals I eat, I give you a behind the scenes look at a typical day in the life. I also sit down and answer the question "What is the difference between the professional and amateur level". Hope you enjoy and be sure to ask your questions in the comment section for a chance to have it featured in future episodes!

With most pro footballers having optimised their physical conditioning and nutrition which areas do you think are the next frontier? Is the game going to be faster yet? Cognitive development? What other major developments do you see coming in terms of game development

[@phoenix-king779]

I stoped playing a while ago but I still watch your videos every now and then

[@hindanhenrytsedoo1057]

I've been following your videos for a long time now and all I can say is, you've been amazing, marvelous and very helpful. You have a huge role in my development as a player, from your drills to healthy lifestyle tips and the rest. I believe Stanley Oganbor extended my message and regards to you. Always remember you have a favorite fan in Nigeria. I do live stream you guys matches on KZbin so I'm patiently waiting to watch you play. Best of luck in the season. Hindan Henry Tsedoo Nigeria.

Hey bro i am 19 and your videos helps a lot

[@Wariotelli4]

Not to sound over dramatic or anything but I stopped playing competitive soccer when covid hit last year I am 37 and can still keep up with 20 years olds, I play wingback but after my latest injury adductor / groin (6 months in) I keep thinking to myself there’s no point in training to keep up I will just play rec soccer. My body is trashed from all the years of playing soccer. Anyway sometimes all it takes is someone you trust to change things or provide some encouragement and this video did that for me. I realized it doesn’t matter what level I play I can and should continue to train as hard as I normally would. You kids are lucky nowadays with all these youth programs we had very limited resources growing up in Canada
