I was invited by GIFT Fellow Will Tullett to talk to the physios and trainers at the training Headquarters of Chelsea outside the city at Cobham Stoke. Will is working full time with the Junior Academy. GIFT Fellow Mark Leyland was there as he also does some work with the juniors.
It was an eye-opening experience to see the vast grounds and the comprehensive care and training that the club provides to the players from the Premier League players all the way down to the teams as young as U-9.
I snapped a picture of Will and I in the Chelsea media room. I was tempted to sit at the podium and describe the athletic 3D move that I performed to score the winning goal, but I realized that nobody would believe that story.
