Roger Caibe training Paul Pogba on the field

Preparing Pogba's Comeback

"After leaving Juventus, Pogba moved to Miami, spending significant time there training intensely with fitness coach Roger Caibe Rodriguez."
— The New York Times / The Athletic

When Paul Pogba faced a 20-month doping ban that threatened to end his career, he chose Miami — and Crown Performance — as his base for an intense physical rebuild. Over months of dedicated training, Roger designed and executed a comprehensive return-to-sport program that brought one of football's most dynamic midfielders back to elite match fitness.

The work paid off: Pogba signed with AS Monaco in Ligue 1, making his competitive return to European football at the highest level.

"He was a bit 'rusty' when he came to me, but full of enthusiasm, eager to show the whole world that he's back… Can he be a top player again? 100%."
— Roger Caibe, quoted in Tribal Football

Learn about return-to-sport training in Miami

Measured, not guessed

Every athlete can start with a full assessment profile: force plates, dynamometer testing, isoinertial power testing and InBody body composition. Recovery runs on red light therapy, BFR, Game Ready, Normatec and Hyperice.

Force plates

Measure jump, landing and strength asymmetries between left and right so training targets the real gap.

Dynamometer testing

Objective strength readings for key muscle groups, used to track progress and guide return-to-sport decisions.

Isoinertial power testing

Quantifies power output under load to set training loads and see how an athlete is trending across a season.

InBody body composition

Muscle mass and body fat tracked precisely, so nutrition and training decisions rest on data.

Red light therapy

Part of the recovery protocol alongside soft tissue work and sleep guidance.

BFR training

Blood flow restriction sessions applied by a trained coach when load needs to stay low.

Game Ready

Cold and compression recovery between sessions and after training.

Normatec compression

Pneumatic compression for post-training and travel recovery.

Hyperice

Percussion and vibration tools for warm-up, mobility and recovery.
