Gary is joined by Mike Brown, Head of Physical Performance at Bodo Glimt in the Norwegian league. Bodo made the headlines last year for beating Celtic and Roma in the Europa League and play an ultra-aggressive style of play, both in and out of possession.
Mike discusses the planning and management of the physical side of Bodo Glimt's game model and talks about:
- Periodization for a high pressing team
- Scheduling and planning in short and long-term
- Getting buy-in from players
- Managing loads throughout the season
- Creating a 'no excuse' environment
- Competing against Jose Mourinho and Roma
Mike has also delivered a webinar for Marcus Walfridson which we used for research below:
