The closer you get to competition the volume of training you actually do is less, so as to allow your body to rest and recover between sessions.
Structure your cross-training appropriately by alternating the intensity of your sessions so you work, recover, work, recover.
You have to train smart. There is always a risk of over-training or training beyond what your body is able to recover from, and that leads to injuries.
In the offseason I allow my body to recover, my mind to recover. I like to be with my family, to read books, and know what is going on in the world, to understand how people think.
Yes, it is not all about training hard. If you do too many sets and too much volume overall, your body is just going to be spending all its time trying to recover and not overcompensating because it doesn't have enough resources for that.
I'm doing mental training as well. So, you know, body, mind, and spirit - everything is being addressed, every single day. Generally I'll have three training sessions a day.
It's good for your body to have a break. Even when you're training, you have to have a cheat day every week. The body reacts better to training if you give it intervals of not training, or you relax the diet.
If you take a hammer and hit something over and over again, it's gonna be destroyed. I don't wanna destroy my body cause I want my body to last me as long as it possible can. If you train hard and push it everyday, your body is going to wear out. So I give my body time to recover.
My standard training week, there's a lot of training in there. I have a high-performance coach who manages these spreadsheets of mine, manages my sessions and my loads. It's a very complicated process, and he puts me through about 22 sessions a week.
The quickest time to rehydrate is right after you're done training, so I'm always carrying these gallons of water to drink, drink, drink so my body can recover faster. And that's a huge part of being able to take damage, by the way. If you're hydrated, your brain is lubricated, you can take bigger shots.
You will feel better in ten sessions, look better in twenty sessions, and have a completely new body in thirty sessions.
If you are training properly, you should progress steadily. This doesn't necessarily mean a personal best every time you race ... Each training session should be like putting money in the bank. If your training works, you continue to deposit into your 'strength' account ... Too much training has the opposite effect. Rather than build, it tears down. Your body will tell when you have begun to tip the balance. Just be sure to listen to it.
Every time you step on the football field in between those lines you're putting your life, your career, every single ligament in your body in jeopardy.
Your body is made up of something like 60 percent water. So if you're constantly draining yourself and dehydrating yourself in your training sessions, you constantly have to be on top of drinking enough water to rehydrate.
Sleep is extremely important to me - I need to rest and recover in order for the training I do to be absorbed by my body.
Money is not everything. My ambition was football itself, not the money I'd make from it. If that brings me and my family a more comfortable lifestyle, then that's fine. But I don't spend my time between games and training sessions thinking about figures.
