1. Train HARD:
This is nothing new, but it’s an overused word that has become saturated and we often forget what it actually means. If you want to improve your game, you have to put in long, gruelling hours on the pitch and in the gym. There’s no way around it. You have to be willing to get in the gym when others don’t want to get to the gym. You have to shoot when others don’t want to shoot – and yes, that means going by yourself most of the time. You have to make sacrifices and miss out on social events, weekend activities, and vacations at times if you want to separate yourself from the pack.

2. Train SMART:
It means you are carefully managing your life, managing your time, knowing what your goals are, knowing what areas of your game you need to grow and improve on, structure your training and focus on efficiency, meaning quality over quantity. Essentially, working smart means you know how to focus on the things that matter and that is going to unlock your potential as a player. This also includes working on things that will directly translate to in-game success. Talk to your coaches. Find out what it is that is keeping you off the pitch or limiting your playing time and attack and prioritize those weaknesses this offseason.

3. Train CONSISTENTLY:
This is the most important of the three but many players fail in this area because they are not fully committed to the process – they don’t embrace the monotony and boredom of skill development. They would rather work when they feel like it or they get easily distracted by things that don’t directly contribute to their long-term goals. The best players have a routine and they stick to it without fail. The more consistent you are the more confidence you build in the game because there’s ZERO doubt in your mind that you’ve prepared yourself.
