Endrick exploded onto the scene at Lyon. |
After a long period of obscurity due to a lack of playing opportunities at Real Madrid, Endrick emerged at Lyon with a surprising pace. In just his first 430 minutes in Ligue 1, the Brazilian striker scored 5 goals.
The question is: what enabled Endrick to accelerate so quickly after almost being outside the top tier? The answer, paradoxically, is quite simple: there's no secret.
Those close to Endrick all agree: the key lies in his mindset and determination. He doesn't follow any secret training regimen or unusual workout routine. Everything is up to the standard of a top-level player.
The difference lies in the level of discipline. Endrick lives an extremely minimalist life: from home to training, from training back home. No parties, no distractions, no "gray space" outside of football.
Along with that discipline came a continuously maintained behind-the-scenes ecosystem, from Madrid to Lyon. The fitness coach and physiotherapist who worked with Endrick in Spain continued his work in France.
This isn't an isolated case; there are currently around 15 players in the Real Madrid squad who possess a similar personal trainer. The key is continuity: the person who understands Endrick's body best remains by his side, working closely with the Lyon team as they did in Madrid.

Endrick is trying to rediscover himself. |
In addition, he has a private chef who lives with him and is responsible for his entire diet; and a trusted confidant who also acts as a driver and bodyguard, taking care of all of Endrick and his family's personal matters. These connections allow the 18-year-old striker (at a pivotal stage in his career) to focus on only one thing: playing.
At the higher end of the system is Roc Nation. Agent Frederico Pena, along with Thiago Freitas, who handles media and commercial matters, ensures Endrick is not pulled off the pitch by non-professional obligations.
During his first month at Lyon, Freitas was directly involved in handling any issues that arose. A clear "role-sharing" structure, where each person knew their responsibilities and there was no overlap, helped Endrick maintain a stable mental state when changing clubs and countries.
The effectiveness of that system was directly reflected on the pitch. Endrick didn't just score; he played with the ease of a player free from any external burdens beyond his professional duties.
That explains why the decision to leave on loan was quickly seen as the right one. There were risks, but the reward was the opportunity to return to Real Madrid in a different, stronger, and more complete form.
From a long-term perspective, Confederação Brasileira de Futebol is receiving positive reports about Endrick. If he maintains his current trajectory, the upcoming World Cup in the USA is within reach, which is even more significant given that his main sponsor is New Balance, a brand that has built its own product line associated with Endrick's image.
Real Madrid invested nearly 70 million euros in Endrick, including transfer fees, salary, and bonuses. The club considers him a strategic asset and continues to send messages of confidence for his near future. In retrospect, Endrick's story isn't about some mystical "secret formula." It's a classic lesson, but one few follow through to the end: talent needs discipline, a system, and the right decision at the right time to be unleashed.
