'I can't sleep before the training because if I sleep, I can't move': Tsimikas provides insight into pre-season schedule

Kostas Tsimikas has shared some insight into his sleep schedule and how he doesn't like sleeping before his training as it makes him more lethargic.

"Personally, I can't sleep before the training because if I sleep, I can't move,

"I try to relax myself, to chill, to watch some movies and to be ready mentally for the second session."

"If you've never done this pre-season, you can't feel us, you can't understand how tough that is.

"But at least the only thing it can give you after is to be 100 per cent ready for the challenges physically, because this is what we need at the moment. We have a very tough season and we have to be 100 per cent ready.

"It's very hard, as always. Very tough, very competitive. All the boys, we work very hard. We set our goals, like last year – we will go for it and that's why we work towards it.

"I think everybody is absolutely ready for the upcoming challenges and we are looking forward to it."
