49ers’ Nick Bosa has been working hard to become a better player in the offseason

Former Ohio State and current San Francisco 49er Nick Bosa has been working hard during the offseason to become a better player.

The world might be taking a break from nearly everything besides hoarding toilet paper during the COVID-19 pandemic, but Nick Bosa isn’t one of the many letting a reboot on life run its course. He’s been extremely busy finding ways to work out and polish up on his film study.

It’s all designed to be an even better player than what we saw during a campaign in which he was the NFL’s Rookie of the Year. That has to be scary for opponents.

According to an article written by Nick Wagoner of ESPN, Bosa has a strict daily regimen that begins early in the morning.

“Bosa has spent his offseason at home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, training with his brother, Joey, in a strict regimen that involves waking up at 6 a.m., getting to a field in a nearby park for about 90 minutes of running, followed by breakfast and then a trip to the gym owned by their father for more workouts that last until about 2 p.m.,” writes Wagoner.

“Honestly, my body is feeling unbelievable at this point,” Bosa told ESPN.

But it’s not just the physical improvement. The former Ohio State star is working on the mental side as well.

“My expectations are always high and I set my goals really high, and I’ve been achieving them,” Bosa said. “So I’m going to just keep setting them high and just keep working my butt off, and I know the work I’m putting in now is going to show up. And I think I’m going to be a much smarter player next year, and I’m just gonna know how to approach my opponents much better and I’m not going to waste rushes and make silly mistakes that I made last year and hopefully enhance my game.”

Bosa went on to say that he hopes to “see the field a little better” nest season and that he made some “little technique” errors that were visible on film.

It’s hard to see the younger Bosa getting much better, but if the work he’s putting in during this pandemic is any indication, we might just be seeing the beginning of a career that’s only going to continue to blossom.
