So Hell Week is considered to be the hardest week of the hardest military training in the world. It is a week of continuous military training during which most classes sleep for a total of two to five hours over the course of the entire week.
The manager and the fitness staff condition every training session. They plan it out week by week on what players need. If players need a rest, they will do that; if players need to work hard, they will do that as well.
I aim for four workouts a week. I work out with a trainer once a week. Then, I take a circuit class twice a week. The fourth workout is random, depending on what I'm in the mood for - either a run, a spin class, or yoga.
As long as I'm playing week in week out, I'm going to become a better player.
I am happy to play in the Premier League. It's a competition which encourages players to give only their very best week in, week out and you have to be 100%.
You have different levels of players. There's are Premier League, international and world-class levels. The world-class level is players at the peak of their career and there's only maybe 50 maximum in the whole world. Stevie moved from a Premier League player to an international player and then world class.
I made $225.81 a week as an accountant, and I went to $400 a week as a stand-up. I was up to $800 a week when I went out to L.A. In L.A., I made $25.
I just really just try to get better as a player every week, just focusing on the team we have to play this week, and just trying to do whatever is best for the team that week.
I think what is most important to me is to be competitive week-in and week-out - not winning a race one week and then not finishing.
There's a lot of players who you can pick up some stuff from, not just only full-backs or defenders. Even training with the top players every week you can get good things from all of them.
Playing week in, week out in the Premier League is massive. You're coming across the best players in the world in probably the best league in the world.
For a player with his talent, it is about doing it consistently week in, week out and over 90 minutes.
For me, watching Sergio Aguero week in week out helps my game massively, and I'm sure the other girls would say the same about various other players.
I'm a more consistent player than I was and if I can keep averaging over 100 week-in and week-out in the Premier League I'll be happy.
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.
When I was playing week-in week-out, I was playing 46 games a season, and there's nothing better than playing every week.
