One area that is being paid a lot of attention to is nutrition. An expert is working to give Hai a comprehensive grasp of the subject including the importance of nutrition and how to optimize and simplify a nutritional intake into daily habits. He is being taught how to select, buy and cook the food himself.

Unlike in Vietnam where a player can get to play even when he is not fully fit, Hai will have to learn how to take care of himself to ensure that he is 100 percent fit always, given the tough competition he will face in France.
