TRAINING: My typical day of training at VFS academy: Wake up, eat breakfast, go train for two hours, go home, shower and change my clothes, then eat and rest for a bit. Around 2pm, back to the gym for another two-hour session covering all aspects of my game, grinding and learning new things every day, then back home. After some food and rest, do some more strength and conditioning, then rest time until next day, when I’ll do this all over again.
