Join Sam Shaban and Nick Humphries for Day 7 of Train Effective’s 30 Days of Dedication.

Today, they dive into one of the most overlooked parts of becoming a footballer, staying injury-free and building a body that can handle the real demands of the game.

They break down why players actually get injured, the hidden weaknesses that lead to overcompensation, and the key pillars every athlete needs to take seriously: sleep, mobility, gym work, core strength, and recovery habits that keep you on the pitch instead of on the sideline.

You’ll hear how small imbalances turn into big problems, the mistakes players make without realizing it, and the practical steps you can take to stay healthy, durable, and consistent.

Day 7: Nick and Sam reveal what separates players who stay available all season from those constantly battling knocks, and how to build a body that won’t break when the intensity rises.

Lock in. Listen daily. Level up.
