In this edition of the Real Deal, we welcome guest Joel Adejola to dive deep into the often overlooked role of athleticism in football. We explore how physical attributes like speed, strength, and stamina can be game-changers on the pitch, and why they’re frequently underrated in player evaluations and projections.
