Ade started training with Calculated Performance in October 2023. Since then, we have created a bespoke program for Ade, which involves training 3 times a week for 90 minutes each session, with assistance from a strength and conditioning coach, as well as a nutritionist.

Ade came to Manchester from India with the goal of becoming a professional footballer.

Our initial priority was to help Ade settle into life in Manchester and establish an environment where all his football needs were taken care of, allowing him to focus solely on attending the scheduled sessions.

Ade has worked closely with Rhys, one of our senior coaches at Calculated Performance, and over the past 10 months, they have formed a strong bond.

The second priority was to get Ade playing at a competitive level in England to complement his training with us. Through our connections, we arranged for Ade to sign for Stretford Paddock, enabling him to regularly train and play competitive matches.

The third priority was to develop a long-term success plan to guide our weekly work. To create this plan, we needed to determine at what level Ade could compete so that we could help him pursue the right opportunities. This led Rhys to fly to Spain to explore an opportunity there.

Through our connection with Academia de Real Internacional in Spain, we were able to arrange for Ade to play in the upcoming season with the team in Spain with the hope of securing a trial with a professional club in Spain.

We have thoroughly enjoyed supporting Ade over the past 10 months and are extremely proud of his achievements so far. Although he will be exploring this new opportunity, we will continue to be in regular contact with Ade and support him to the best of our ability.
