We knew he was lightning. We knew he had promise. But the whole world learned the lesson in Zagreb last night that Theo Walcott has the attitude and the ammo to blow holes through the tightest defences out there.
Croatia had never lost at home until Theo shot from the hip, with three unstoppable bullets into the heart of his opponents’ defence – the first competitive hat-trick by an England player for seven years.
When you’re playing in the world’s toughest competitions, you’ve got no choice but to grow up quickly. Bootcamp's drills will help you show a clean pair of heels to opposition defenders, and – as Theo knows so well – training isn’t a part-time pursuit.
Press play to see how England’s hottest young talent takes nineteen years of pure footballing potential onto the practice ground every day, and turns them into match-winning magic.
