Personal trainer

Many experts were enthusiastic about the workDiscipline James developed from a young age. Being able to work twice a day despite being only 13 is a gift James’ parents were able to pass on to their son and have no regrets despite James’ decision to drop out of college. That’s why he’s chasing his football dream.

Over the years, James has grown into a world-class footballer, very athletic with a high potential to become the world’s next superstar. We can see the hours of sweat in his versatile game, goal-scoring ability and tremendous ball-handling technique.

His sporting potential is a product of many strength, flexibility and speed training. Rodriguez performs a specific weightlifting routine that primarily targets his entire body through a combination of exercises like deadlifts, squats, and Olympic lifts that work multiple muscle groups at once. The opportunity to be part of a world-class team is often very beneficial, but not because of the footballer’s salary, but because of the professionalism of the coaches, their educational background and the level of their expertise, which ultimately leads to great training and tremendous improvement in the sporting Capabilities.
