Germany Cuts Ties With adidas

After over 70 years, Germany will no longer be seen in adidas.

In 2027, Nike will be taking over as the main sponsor of the DFB.

It’s come as a shock to many, as they’ve never seen their team in anything but adidas.

However, money talks.

Estimates say that Nike most likely offered $100 million+ to secure the spot.

Point Deduction Into Relegation?

Things are looking bleak for Nottingham Forest at the moment.

They were docked 4 points this week as a penalty for breaking financial rules.

In most other situations, this wouldn’t be a huge deal.

However, this drops the club into the relegation zone.

They dropped from 17th to 18th (ironically falling below the team they just beat this past weekend).

With the later end of the season in sight, this is not a good place to be.

3 Secrets to Haaland’s Meteoric Rise

Over the past four years, Erling Haaland has undoubtably put himself on the list of top talent.

It feels like nearly every month he’s broken a new record,

And every week he’s scored at least once.

What he’s been able to accomplish at only 23 years old is almost unbelievable.

But when you break it down, Haaland’s success was actually inevitable.

He’s built such a strong foundation that he can put whatever he wants on top of it.

But here’s the thing.

It’s replicable.

It’s not inaccessible to anyone—not even you.

We’re going to break down the secrets of Haaland’s success in a moment so you can see just how simple it really is.

Haaland’s 3 Secrets to Success

1. Simple is effective

Everyone loves a flashy striker.

That is, until they can’t finish a ball consistently.

This is exactly where Haaland shines.

His shots-on-target percentage is 61.29%.

For comparison, most golden boot winners over the years haven’t even hit 50%.

When he’s around the goal, you know there’s a strong chance City will score.

He’s simple and consistent.

One of his biggest criticisms is that he just scores tap-ins and easy goals.

But even using that argument, most strikers could dream of finishing at the rate that he does.

He’s nailed down his fundamentals and that alone is enough to set him apart.

2. Discipline and focus

Haaland might have mastered the greatest super power of them all.

It’s what Eliud Kipchoge (the best marathoner of all time) describes as vitamin N.

And that is the ability to say no.

Haaland knows what’s important—his health and football.

Everything else is secondary and needs to be said no to if it interferes with his priorities.

Notice how few interviews he’s done over the past years.

He knows that answering questions to appease some crowds isn’t the best use of his time.

Instead it allows him to stay focused on what he really wants to achieve.

He’s even said that he finds interviews boring.

3. Biohacking

Haaland understands that how he treats his body will affect his recovery and how he performs.

He’s meticulous about being in tip-top shape mentally and physically.

And it’s worked.

His recovery is second to none.

He’s only missed three games this season because of injuries.

Some of his tricks are:

  • Blue light blocking glasses later in the day for melatonin release

  • Ice baths to promote muscle repair

  • Nutrient rich foods (organ meat and raw milk)

  • Local, whole foods over processed foods

  • No alcohol

Not only do each of these work wonders on their own, but they also multiply when they’re stacked.

His body is always recovering at the highest level that it can.

That’s why he’s almost never injured and ready every single day to bring his best.
