Few weeks after announcing the end of loan spell with Mexican club Puebla FC, Former Ghana youth midfielder Clifford Aboagye is seeking to gain his physique and strength intact before the start of the new season and as a result has seek the services of top Ghanaian physical trainer and CEO of Train Like a Pro GH, Totti Laryea.

Speaking on what’s it’s like to train a player like Clifford, Totti Laryea says there’s been a lack of personal trainers for football players and his is to help players get the stamina and the fitness they deserve.

And because of his works, some of which are bouncing Hearts Of Oak midfielder Gladson Awako into top form and Berry ladies Captain Faustina Akpo, Clifford coming to him was no surprise.

Laryea Totti worked with Clifford Aboagye before in June and because the player liked his methods as his performance also peaked and because of that he called on him again right after he stepped down to his motherland.

Laryea Totti also advised Ghanaian players on how to have and maintain their ability and physique.

“Ghanaian Players don’t need too much workout, they need a balanced training, more powerful endurance and also have to know that the European lifestyle is different from the African lifestyle so what might work for the whites might not work for the blacks”. He said.

Clifford Aboagye, a professional as Laryea Totti puts it is very dedicated to his body and making sure he stays fits is what he’ll be doing for him anytime he comes back to Ghana.
