With Brad's insights on combating sarcopenia and tweaking fat storage, you'll be equipped to maintain that crucial burst of speed when it matters most on the pitch. As I approach my own half-century mark, I'll share the trials and triumphs of juggling the whistle with targeted, intelligent training.

In a game where every call matters, we break down how to adapt your workouts to keep you injury-free and on top of your game. Discover how to harness the power of time under tension, plyometrics, and balance training to ensure your agility and stability aren't left in the dust by younger players.

Dive into the art of hydration, the science of carb cycling, and the necessity of a well-timed, nutrient-packed recovery meal. By the time you reach the final whistle of our discussion, you'll walk away with a holistic game plan that'll keep you raising flags and running the sidelines without fear of pulling a muscle or a red card. So gear up and tune in for a session that promises to keep you refereeing at peak performance, no matter the number on your birth certificate.
