Herriman • The bus was nearly full and waiting to leave, ready to pull out of the parking lot in downtown Los Angeles after a loss on the road, but inside the visitor’s locker room, one player needed to break a sweat. Mike Petke sat in a chair inside LAFC’s Banc of California Stadium on August 15 watching Damir Kreilach get through push-ups and planks on the floor.
“He had to get through his business to feel like he could accomplish something,” Petke said.
Petke has yet to inform Kreilach that everyone else was ready to roll.
