The first is Aviram Bruchian, whom you all know. I wish him great success, and I’m sure he will help us improve.<\/p>\n \u201cRegarding nutrition, it’s important that you understand the fundamentals and significance of proper nutrition. Not because you’re trying to avoid fines or body-fat tests, but because it can elevate your career. There will be close weekly monitoring, and I want you to commit to it. It will help you improve and become the best players you can be.\u201d<\/p>\n The bench boss concluded with a message of commitment and belief, \u201cOff the field, you know I’m here for each and every one of you. Once we step onto the pitch, the expectation from me and everyone here is to give our very best and strive to be the best. With God’s help, I truly believe in us, that we can have a fantastic season.
