Join Sam Shaban and Nick Humphries for Day 6 of Train Effective’s 30 Days of Dedication.

Today, they’re pulling back the curtain on the real grind of football trials, the pressure, the uncertainty, the travel, and the mental battles players never talk about.

They kick things off with a raw story from Aussies fighting their way through foreign trials, then dive into your own experiences: how many trials you’ve been on, who you trialed for, whether you’ve braved an open trial, and what your best and worst moments looked like.

They break down the realities of trying to get noticed, the mistakes players make, and the mindset you need to survive trial after trial without losing belief.

You’ll hear honest insights, hard truths, and the perspective that separates players who keep going from those who fall off.

Day 6: Nick and Sam get real about the trial process, the highs, the setbacks, and what it actually takes to stay mentally strong when your future is on the line.
