Tuesday’s Toffee Bites: Is Tom Davies really one of Europe’s brightest young talents?

Soccer players don’t lift much weight. This is an irrefutable fact supported by the video below and Everton’s players working out in Dubai last week. There’s a lot of bike riding, some resistance work, quite a few pull-ups and a tiny bit of free weight exercise. For some reason, this made me feel better about myself. I just choose to ignore that they can each probably run a mile in four minutes. But how many words can they type per minute? Hmm? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Take that, jocks!
