Kaizer Chiefs’ Aden McCarthy impressed with a couple of Player of the Match awards this season.
Aden McCarthy’s seamless adaptation and turn of events in the Kaizer Chiefs first team hasn’t come as a shock to his system, as he has ensured that he is always ready to face all the hype and criticism that comes with playing for the club and being the son of Fabian McCarthy.
McCarthy has had an impressive full debut season at Chiefs. He helped the team secure a third-place finish in the Betway Premiership through hard work on and off the pitch.
It was important for McCarthy to ensure that he stepped up for the team as he knew that he was going to be regularly compared to his father, Fabian, who was always a rock-solid defender at the club.
In aim to meet those high expectations, McCarthy took the less-travelled path by footballers, spending time in the gym and doing physical work through boxing, while also visiting mental coach, Dr. Henning Gericke. This paid off as he was able to focus more mentally.
