Adaptation is key for a footballer because they’re always facing changes.
Whether it’s changing clubs or teammates or something more tactical, like changing position or role while playing, it’s all part of the job.
That’s especially true when it comes to the role or position you play.
You often have to play with different clubs, for different coaches, with different systems, and with different teammates, so you need to be able to adapt.
They have to be able to roll with the punches and adapt to whatever changes come their way.
It might not always be their top choice, but they know they need to adapt to stay relevant and remain top professionals.
It’d be interesting to know what they think about it all.
How do they feel about changing their role? How about playing in a different position?
We had a chance to ask Jackson Irvine, the St. Pauli captain, this question.
