How Do Professional Footballers Recover So Quickly? | Tips And Tricks

In this video I will share with you my secrets to being able to recover quickly from intense training and exercise.

Hi Jake, I now I'm 3 years late. But this was a great information source. One question though, do you do scrimmage same day as leg day?

[@francisgkmamuzu5048]

Jack, a quick one. Is it possible for one to train with a professional club if he has no club playing for, for the meantime?

[@vaggelisvarelis4586]

Can you give the sets and reps on the band work and on dynamic warm up? @jack blake

[@JackBlake]

Usually 10 reps 2 sets of each exercise 👍🏼 dynamic warm ups depend on how sore or loose you feel

[@jeremiahosoba366]

Jack should you foam roll on match day and what do you do if you have a painful groin

[@hodaghostin1986]

i love your videos...you are really good you should play in MLS :) can i please know how many hours do you train in a day,how much sessions do you have in a week and please can you videos on how to be better:faster,..and some advice to be pro

I would recommend finding a calming tea to drink 30 mins before bed. I like to drink chamomile tea ☕️

[@Luigiluigi121]

Recovery does players after the match or training or after injury?? When?? Can we do with tennis ball

[@shirocp]

UA & FA If you’re feeling muscle tightness in certain areas, I recommend a lacrosse ball instead of a tennis ball. I use a foam roller for every need, but a lacrosse ball gets into tight spaces like your shoulders and hips.

[@uafa140]

@@shirocp IDK about tightness but my legs pain daily and yeah maybe sometimes I feel tightness in muscles

[@uafa140]

@@shirocp but here he is saying almost every day

[@shirocp]

Well, there’s a difference between soreness and pain. Which are you experiencing lately? I recommend you check with your physician or get X-rays to see if there’s anything else other than just pain. I believe this video is based on how to recover quickly from soreness before the next upcoming match. I hope all is well with you, and you have a speedy recovery. 😎🙏🏼

You must try replacing meat and seafood protein with vegetable protein, your sleep quota and lethargy will drop drastically. Mentally you will be more alert, you will feel less inflammation overall

Foam rolling the lower back is actually a bad idea. Just do some research about it.

[@gurbydhar]

Water is not equal to hydration

[@philipreis5675]

Did you mean 2 litres of water because 2 gallons is a lot a lot of water. But regardless love the content

[@JackBlake]

Yes! On game days and heavy training days we lose so much sweat and water so it’s important to replenish. I can lose up to 6/7 pounds of water weight in a game

[@marcosmagnoli577]

two galons of water a day? isnt that too much ? thats it like 8 liters

[@JackBlake]

I lose so much water during sweat and exercise so it’s important to replenish. You can never drink too much water in my opinion

[@lamrof]

2 Gallons is toooooooooooo much buddy. You will wipe out all your electrolytes.

[@patricktouhy9701]

there are no benefits of foam rolling
