Battle for Persistence: The Undercover Sales Strategy of HSV Candidate Hefti
Silvan Hefti Boosts Speed with Sprint Coach Rolf Fongué
Silvan Hefti, the Hamburg SV (HSV) defender, has made a significant improvement in his speed, increasing it by 1.8 km/h, from 33.8 km/h to 35.6 km/h, in just under four months while training with sprint coach Rolf Fongué [1].
Rolf Fongué, a former professional sprinter and the CEO of Fongué Performance & Consulting GmbH, specialises in using tailored sprint training methods for football players to enhance acceleration, running mechanics, and overall speed [1]. Hefti's progress under Fongué's guidance reflects this approach, with a focus on refining technique and improving physical conditioning to boost agility and top-end speed essential for high-level football performance [1].
During the pre-season, Hefti's speed boost was evident in his strong form, as he strives to secure a place in the HSV squad [1]. However, the competition for positions at HSV is fierce, with three players vying for the left-back spot. It remains to be seen whether Hefti or William Mikelbrencis will secure a place in the squad, or if one of them may depart the club soon.
Hefti's improvement was demonstrated in a sprint exercise against HSV's Daniel Elfadli, who was one of the slowest professionals last season, with a top speed of 32.94 km/h [1]. It is important to note that the conditions on a football pitch are different from those on a professional track, so Rolf Fongue's given value for Hefti's top speed should be treated with caution [1][2].
Silvan Hefti's determination to improve and his focus on taking the fight for his HSV future seriously have been evident, as he has not been affected by transfer rumours [1]. Hefti's dedication to his craft and his progress under Fongué's guidance are sure to make him a formidable force on the pitch for HSV this season.
