Pre-Season Week One: The Fitness Fundamentals

BLOG_MY — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 06:57:27 GMT

Week one done.

Manchester United coaching staff have set a goal of higher intensity output during matches this season, and that means heavy expectations on endurance during preseason while at the same time integrating the football.

Whether elite professionals or young amateurs, it's the same.
Establish your work ethic from the start.

Week one sets the tone.

Leave a Legacy

BLOG_MY — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 08:42:23 GMT

Millions witnessed the future being written in South Africa. And now that the world's greatest football event has ended, South Africa's future is only just beginning.

The newly-opened Nike Football Training Centre in Soweto provides state-of-the-art facilities and tutoring to aspiring footballers. Plus, our partnership with NIKE(RED) means that kids will be educated off the pitch about the threat of AIDS and how to prevent infection.

The Future Has Been Written.

On Target: Sneijder and Essien

BLOG_MY — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 11:48:46 GMT

A weighted slide rule pass opens up the defence. A clinical one-two beats the offside trap. The ball is effortlessly eased out onto the wing...

We all live for the goals and the glory but sometimes it’s the simple things that win a game. Sometimes, it’s all about the pass. Just ask Wesley Sneijder and Michael Essien.

The T90 midfielders have been in precise passing form this season and are proving that accuracy is about more than just scoring goals - not that either midfielder has been goal shy this season.

With both players boasting high pass completion records in their respective leagues so far, they’re setting a benchmark in how to control a midfield and the game.

Which midfielders will meet the standard come the end of the season?

The moment you train for

BLOG_TH — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:12:54 GMT

Lassana Diarra is used to defying the odds. Not the tallest, the largest or the strongest, he’s carved a role for himself in Les Blues midfield, from sheer determination and committed training.

Every second of his preparation will be tested, if he gets his chance to show what he can do against the Irish. There’s a spot in South Africa at stake.

Watch the video to see Lassana in training.

Super Mario smashes it

BLOG_TH — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 05:19:32 GMT

Sometimes you witness the precise moment a promising talent moves up several gears into the major league.

For the man they call Super Mario, it happened in just 48 minutes. Last night, Balotelli scored two, created one and won the penalty for another. He even had to be dragged away from taking the spot kick by the regular penalty taker. Balotelli is not lacking confidence.

Watch the video to see how Balotelli hones his touch and dribbling.

Will his skills and growing confidence be enough to book him a ticket to South Africa?

Make The Difference

BLOG_TH — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 05:11:45 GMT

You could stop at enough.
Just another name on the teamsheet.
Happy just to turn up.

Or you could become their worst nightmare.

The one who turns a game in an instant.
Sees the pass no-one else sees.
Turns desperate defence into decisive attack.

Be the one that they worry about days before kick-off.
Who blurs the line between hate and respect.
Who can never be stopped,
Only feared.

Inter’s Preseason Prep

BLOG_TH — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 07:17:56 GMT

After a global tour Inter Milan begins league play on Sunday in what will be the 78th season of the Italian top flight. It’s also number 78 for Inter—the only team in the country to never be relegated.

How do they do it? Any good coach will tell you its no mystery. The difference between Inter capturing a 5th straight Scudetto—last done by Juventus in the 1930’s—and finishing below the top spot is creating a team of unmatched, technical footballers.

Some say it’s luck, and the ball does bounce in mysterious ways at times, but if from training day one a unified Inter push themselves to the limits, destroying their bodies in practice to later glorify them at during a game, can anyone in Italy stop them? They have won the last four league trophies this way, making themselves bigger, stronger, faster, better each year. They know if they put in the work, there is no reason to think the Italian record books won’t eventually all be theirs.
