Youth IFX Year Spain player Jacob Richard signs for C.D. Fleta – Zaragoza

Jacob really likes how football in Spain focuses on technique and

improving the fundamentals. Being a midfielder, according to Jacob, Spain is the best place to be because is the most challenging spot on the pitch. When Jacob was brought onto the pitch for his first game for the club, receiving all the encouragement from the coaches and players was a memory which will last a lifetime.

A typical day in Jacob´s life looks like: At 6:30am, he is out of bed and goes to school. School starts at 8:45am and goes on until 3pm. He arrives back home by 3:30pm and has lunch immediately. The rest of the day continues based on whether or not he has training. If not, he goes to the gym. After that he comes back to study or does whatever he has to. At 9 or 10pm he will have dinner and by 11:30 goes to bed. On the days he has training he prefers to sleep before training to feel fresh.
