Marcel Hartel on Preseason, Olof Mellberg's Tactics, and Family Life at STL City SC

Marcel Hartel joined Jen Siess to discuss the importance of starting the season with a full preseason, something he missed last year. He shares his thoughts on double training sessions, which are common in Europe, and how the team is handling them. With new coach Olof Mellberg’s focus on playing with and against the ball, Hartel talks about the benefits of the camp environment for consistent improvement. He also dives into becoming a "non-stop player," working on both physical and mental aspects in training. Personally, he reflects on how his family’s adjustment, with his daughter turning two, allows him to perform at his best while helping the team push for the playoffs.
