So the World Cup is over and unfortunately, Germany did not win it. I am experiencing a mild case of Soccer Induced Depression! But let’s look at the bright side: 1. All of the annoying, fair weather soccer fans will be gone until the semi-finals of World Cup 2014, 2. Germany played the best soccer and scored the most goals, 3. Thomas Mueller won best rookie and the Golden Shoe, and 4. Bundesliga starts in one month!
In the meantime, focus on getting your physique to a World Cup level — Remember: Every meal, rep, and set counts!
Train hard,
