Join Sam Shaban and Nick Humphries for Day 9 of Train Effective’s 30 Days of Dedication.

Today, they’re breaking down why so many players misunderstand their own position, and what it actually takes to dominate your role on the pitch.

They explain the essentials for every position: the elite mentality of a goalkeeper, fullback 1v1 defending, centre-back positioning, CDM scanning and anticipation, box-to-box work rate, CAM creativity, winger fearlessness, and striker movement and finishing.

You’ll hear real examples from Rodri, Kanté, Gerrard, Saliba, Vini Jr, Yamal, Ronaldo and more, plus live reactions from players asking how to build confidence, fix decision-making, and understand what scouts really look for.

They show you what separates players who “play the position” from players who own it, and how to become that difference-maker for your team.

Day 9: Nick and Sam reveal the truth about mastering your position, and how understanding your role can transform your entire game.
