Three videos of his athletic preparation were shared on the Twitter accounts of his physical trainers. Each time, the exercises seem new and particularly adapted to his needs. In addition to working on his proprioception with a balance trainer, he also exercises his eye reflexes and the speed of execution of his arms.
