@project_footballer: Most players train hard when people are watching. The best players build a lifestyle that allows them to stay disciplined when nobody is watching. That’s the difference Erling Haaland talks about here. He explains that he sees players go all-in during pre-season… then slowly fall away during the year. But his focus isn’t on short bursts of motivation. It’s on building standards he can maintain every single day. Mobility. Stretching. Cardio work. Recovery. Nutrition. Sleep. Match analysis. Not for a week. Not for pre-season. As a lifestyle. This is such an important lesson for young footballers. Talent matters. But the ability to consistently live like an athlete is what separates good players from elite ones. And honestly, this applies far beyond football too. The people who achieve the most are usually not the people who go hardest for one month. They are the people who can keep showing up with discipline year after year. #mancity #football #haaland
