Best Known For

Playing football for Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid and the Wales national team as a winger.

Strength

Gareth has good command over the ball and goes forward with goal-scoring touch.

Weakness

He is weak at defending the ball and so plays mostly at the left winger position.

Personal Trainer

Jose Luis San Martin is the personal trainer for Real Madrid. Gareth’s training schedule and exercise program have been set by him so that he can regain fitness. Bale needs to be physically fit as he missed the pre-season at Spurs due to injury in late 2013.

First, Bale will build up his base by going through an endurance training. Bale will execute interval drills – 15 seconds sprint, 15 seconds rest in between the set. Eventually, he will increase the sprint to 30 seconds and so on. He needs to make sure he trains at 150-170 bpm.

Gareth will do a three hours workout in a day diving into morning and afternoon sessions with some time spent in the gym.

So, this workout can really take him to a competitive level, but he needs to play games to reach the best level.
