Ben White has spoken about the importance of pre-season and why he embraces the demanding sessions each summer, even as he recovers from a minor injury setback. Since joining Arsenal, the defender has become a consistent presence in the starting line-up, trusted to operate as the club’s first-choice right back whenever available. His reliability has also established him as one of the most dependable players in England in his position.
White understands that preparation is key to sustaining performance levels across a long campaign. For him, pre-season is not simply about fitness but about laying the foundation for the months ahead. He has highlighted that players who miss this vital period often struggle to find rhythm once competitive fixtures begin, a challenge he is determined to avoid whenever possible.
The Value of Preparation
Reflecting on his approach, White explained the personal significance he attaches to summer training. Speaking to Arsenal Media, he said: “To be honest, I enjoy training and I enjoy the work of pre-season, so it was a good summer. I think it’s really good to test yourself and see what levels you can reach in pre-season. You know it’s a really important time, because it gives you your starting point for the whole season. You want to get ahead and then bring it into the new season as soon as you can.”
His comments underline a philosophy shared by many elite athletes, where discipline during pre-season translates directly into consistency and confidence once the campaign begins. For White, the process is as much about mental sharpness as it is about physical readiness.
Building for the Season Ahead
Arsenal’s faith in White reflects not only his defensive capabilities but also his attitude towards preparation and improvement. A strong pre-season provides the momentum needed to navigate the challenges of the Premier League and European competitions, and White is fully aware of this dynamic.
By prioritising his summer work, the defender positions himself to deliver the kind of steady performances Arsenal have come to expect. As he continues his recovery, the focus will be on ensuring he regains full fitness in time to translate his pre-season principles into another consistent campaign.
For White, the secret to sustained success lies in embracing the hard work before the season begins, a commitment that has made him a key figure in the Gunners’ squad.
