Jesse Marsh

men's national team here's our good friend jesse marsh how you doing jesse what's up brian i gotta tell you man you you got this is like my third or fourth time on your show you're in serious danger of becoming huge football fans it's coming it's coming becoming a thing yeah it's coming we're getting excited what about we go down for like a workout like a like we just practiced with the boys coach can you set that up yes i'll put you guys through some runs that'd be great great

You'd qualify for the staff, though.

You'd qualify for staff runs, which are much lower intensity.

I'll do the full meal.

I'd welcome it.

I'm sorry to say.

Well, I...

We don't want to be a bunch of fat guys running around the pitch, so we're trying our best to do what we can, but not easy.

The older you get, the further away it seems, but yeah, we try to keep it going.

I went down there today to shoot a couple videos for our fans and whatnot, and I can say that it's much transformed, and there is much, much, much work going on down there.

It looks very different, and there's a lot of people wearing hard hats and orange vests, so I think they're getting it ready, and certainly we're excited for two weeks from now when we have a couple matches there.

Yeah, I spoke to him today.

He's obviously down and frustrated a little bit, but he said that this little injury compared to even the one he experienced about a month ago is much less severity.

So he'll probably be two, three weeks before he's back again, but what it highlights is just when you come off these long-term injuries, just managing things and being a little bit more cautious so you don't have setbacks.

So

He's probably not going to be with us for March, which is okay.

We'll probably leave him there in Munich and make sure that he gets himself fully fit and fully back to 100%.

But I'm confident that he will do that.

Along with his frustration, my message to him was just stay positive.

It's not easy when you come back from these long-term injuries.
