📖 Tifo's new book, "How to Watch Football" is now available to pre-order internationally: linktr.ee/tifobook
Everyone needs a good night's sleep. And footballers with their hectic schedules, the domestic games, the international tournaments, tours and friendlies, need sleep much more than many people realise.
But why? What is the science behind sleep? Written by Seb Stafford-Bloor, illustrated by Philippe Fenner.

Sometimes I wonder, what times the player went to sleep after mid-week matches. Kick off at 8PM, match finished at 10PM ... there are post-match interview, Massage, Ice Cold bath, Tweeting and posting on social media after game, Team Talk, drive home, check social media, Change the lamp, take out trash (because your wife been angry you haven't done it 🤣)

I'm sure every top manager does this but if anyone listens to ten hag's press conferences recently he has consistently talked about recovery, sleep and food to keep the squad in the best shape possible for a congested run of matches. Obviously more is going on the background but for most teams who play intense football that plays a more important role than a training session sometimes.

Hey, Tifo. Thanks for the amazing vids. Could you guys do a vid on why footballers hug when they celebrate? Is it part of their contractual obligation or something like that? I understand sometimes they might be excited but I don't believe it's always the case when they hug. Sometimes it just feels manufactured - like a theatrical production for the cameras.
