| How does Frankie Hejduk maintain his amazing and seemingly endless energy level? Hejduk lets the secret out in this video below. Hejduk said he drinks eight to ten Starbucks coffees per day – espresso shots to be exact.
Really though, Hejduk’s fitness, work rate, and desire have made him an almost indispensable player on the U.S. national soccer team for years. While the espresso shots surely give him a boost, I think his eternal energy comes from his passion for the game and is in his genes. I’m guessing Hejduk won the beep test and or any other fitness test every time. “It’s my daily routine, something that I look forward to in the morning, something that gets me going, pumps me up a bit…” As you hear a Starbucks worker in the background announce a quad espresso…what a unique soccer player Frankie Hejduk was, just endless amounts of energy and will. He’s missed in the current men’s national team to say the least. |
