Trying to write while I’m distracted definitely doesn’t work for me. I’m also a compulsive saver of my files, so every writing session ends with me emailing what I’ve written to myself, just in case.

The double sessions are tough. The manager wants us to get fit, wants us to work hard. And that’s because the Premier League is so tough. We need it. Something we have to do.

The manager and the fitness staff condition every training session. They plan it out week by week on what players need. If players need a rest, they will do that; if players need to work hard, they will do that as well.

I’d work with soccer coordinators at Game Changing Films and have one or two combat training sessions with my stunt double, who’s a wushu master.
