26 / 27 🔜

Tomorrow, thousands of footballers will judge their entire season after one game.

Don’t.

One good game doesn’t make your season.

And one bad game certainly doesn’t end it.

Tonight, focus on what you can control:

✔ Get a good night’s sleep.
✔ Fuel your body properly.
✔ Stay hydrated.
✔ Trust the work you’ve already put in.
✔ Go out there and enjoy playing.

Then when the final whistle goes…

Don’t panic.

If you’re not where you want to be physically, you can still get fitter.

If your performance wasn’t your best, you can still improve.

If there are gaps in your game, you’ve got time to work on them.

The best players don’t peak in August.

They keep improving throughout the season.

Your goal shouldn’t be to have the perfect first game.

It should be to become a better player every single week.

Good luck to everyone kicking off their season this weekend. Go and enjoy it. ⚽💚

Availability. Consistency. Progress.

💬 What’s one goal you’ve set yourself for this season?

5️⃣ Common Mis-Beliefs 🤥

Most athletes don’t have an effort problem.

They have a thinking problem.

They believe more sessions always means more progress.

They think playing their sport is enough to develop every physical quality they need.

They chase PBs every week, copy the latest exercises from social media and judge sessions by how exhausted they feel afterwards.

The problem is…

Those beliefs don’t just slow your progress—they can completely change the way you train.

The athletes who improve the most aren’t always the most talented.

They’re the ones who understand why they’re doing what they’re doing.

They train with intent.

They recover with intent.

They progress with intent.

Because performance isn’t built by one great session.

It’s built by hundreds of the right ones.

Which myth do you see most often? 👇

“Availability is the best ability.”

That phrase gets thrown around a lot in football.

But it’s becoming more relevant every season.

The modern game demands more from your body than ever before.

More fixtures.

More high-speed running.

More accelerations.

More decelerations.

Less time to recover.

At the highest level, clubs don’t just invest in talent, they invest in players they can rely on week after week.

That doesn’t mean injuries are always avoidable. Football is unpredictable.

But you can massively improve your chances of staying available by controlling what happens away from the pitch.

✔️ Strength training

✔️ Sprint exposure

✔️ Mobility

✔️ Recovery

✔️ Sleep

✔️ Nutrition

Those aren’t extras.

They’re part of becoming a better footballer.

Whether you’re playing in the Premier League or non-league, the same rule applies:

If you’re unavailable, someone else gets the opportunity.

Train to be the player your manager can rely on every week.

Because talent gets you noticed.

Availability keeps you playing.

“Your body has to earn the right to play football every week.”

That gives the reel a memorable takeaway and ties directly into everything you’ve been posting recently about robustness, strength and managing load.

Lifting Will Make You Not Break You

Most footballers don’t get injured because they lift.

They get injured because their body isn’t prepared for what football demands.

Every sprint.
Every tackle.
Every change of direction.
Every high-speed deceleration.

They’re all stress.

The question isn’t whether your body will experience load…

It’s whether it can tolerate it.

One of the biggest mistakes I see during pre-season is players completely ditching the gym because they’re worried about feeling tired.

The answer isn’t to stop lifting.

The answer is to manage the dosage.

During pre-season we typically reduce overall gym volume, avoid unnecessary soreness, and limit exercises that create excessive fatigue.

But we don’t stop building strength.

We don’t stop training power.

We don’t stop improving robustness.

Because those qualities are exactly what help you handle the increasing demands of football.

I’ve already seen multiple injuries during pre-season this year.

Not because players were in the gym…

But because their bodies weren’t ready for the amount of running, sprinting, training and matches they were suddenly exposed to.

Your gym work should support your football, not compete with it.

Off-season is where you build the engine.

Pre-season is where you prepare it for the road.

Get that transition right and you’ll give yourself the best chance of staying available when it matters most.
