Ana Maria Markovic, Croatian national player

A soccer player must constantly master all aspects of the game. His life is based on constantly practicing to bring together as many qualities as possible: dribbling, passing, shooting, definition, his less skilled leg… A large part of his day-to-day life consists of practicing these skills, either on the training field or through videos. A footballer is obliged to be in good physical shape. Elite sport is demanding and care is taken down to the smallest details. Speed and endurance are two aspects that players practice in their training sessions. This is complemented by sessions in the gym, either at the club’s own facilities or at home.
