Are Arsenal The World's Best Team | Day 16/30 Days Of Dedication

Today we’re breaking down Arsenal sitting top of the Premier League and the Champions League, and why they look like one of the most complete teams in world football right now. We dive into Declan Rice’s unreal scanning habits, why some people are calling him the best midfielder in the world, and revisit the time he made a public apology through Train Effective early in his journey. We also talk about Tomiyasu’s personal training grind and how he’s staging his comeback through discipline, consistency and work rate. This stream brings match analysis, mentality lessons and elite habits you can apply to your own game. Stick around for the Q&A. 🎙️ Hosted By Nick Humphries ‪@nickhumph‬ and Sam Shaban @sshaban10 from the Train Effective team. This is your Winter Arc. While others slow down, you level up.

Today we talked about why there are no excuses if you really want to level up, with players flying into our London and Miami camps from the US, Canada, India, UAE, Ireland, Sweden, South Africa and more. We shared what happens when players come back for a second camp and why the sooner you put yourself in that environment, the quicker you improve. On the live we brought viewers on stage for 1-to-1 chats about finding your best position, fixing decision making, bouncing back from injuries like Achilles tendinitis and hamstring problems, and even heard from a Nigerian academy owner and a US sports nutritionist about recovery, creatine and playing multiple games a week! We also broke down Harry Kane and Chicharito as perfect models for strikers to study, and highlighted Callum as an example of consistency, mindset and preparation paying off. If you want real talk about mentality, pathways, camps and what it actually takes to move forward, this session is for you. 🎙️ Hosted By Nick Humphries ‪@nickhumph‬ and Sam Shaban @sshaban10 from the Train Effective team.
