Preston North End striker Sean Maguire has opened up on how a sprint coach and a sports psychologist have helped him hit top speed.
“It was tough, definitely,” Maguire said.
"I found it an opportunity for myself to stay in the gym, I feel like I've bulked up a little bit. I've been put on a programme where they felt I needed to bulk up and I've felt the benefits from it. I've felt stronger, I think I look stronger anyway! The haircut as well, it's all come together! It's been a long road but I'm thankful to be back now.”
Over the summer he worked with both a sports psychologist and sprint coach to get to the bottom of his problems in order to get back to where he feels he should be, and the early signs are promising. "It's just about getting over that moment, sometimes in the past when I do sprint for the ball it does bring me back to the moments where I've had hamstring injuries. Speaking to the sprint coach and the psychologist in the summer now, I have benefited."I've gone back to my old technique of running because I'd sprinted in a way that protected my hamstrings. Now I feel the benefits of it. When I came back from injury I hit the highest max speed in three years.
