Postecoglou's view on training
Postecoglou has provided a thorough explanation of his workouts, the functions of his coaches, and the video analysis that went into them.
The new manager has expressed a very clear opinion on training during an interview for Open Goal that was just uploaded to YouTube.
According to London Football, Postecoglou said, "Every day is an excuse to get better. Why do you train? You don't train just to say 'I've trained for a couple of hours' and that's it. You train to try to get better. In any other sport that's how it happens and football is no different as far as I'm concerned.
"If somebody wins the Masters in golf then the next day they're out there on the putting green practising their putting. Why are you practising your putting when you're the best golfer in the world? It's because that's what they have to do because they know fine margins are what make you better.

TRANSFERS Manchester United reveal Sancho’s price tag amid Tottenham interest
The forward is reportedly one of the players who are going to leave the club.
"Tennis players out there practising their serve or backhand. Footballers are no different. You come in every day and that period when you're out in the field or in the gym, or that period when you're sitting down with your coach going through your video, is an opportunity to improve.
"You're not going to improve a lot [in a single day] but just a little bit. So if you do that every day then that becomes part of who you are. Just walking in, doing your training, getting your bag and going home?
"No, every day is an opportunity to improve, for me, the players and everyone. So how do I continue to improve a team? By continuously focusing on that."
Postecoglou dislikes interruptions during training
The 57-year-old also mentioned that he wants to have uninterrupted training sessions, thus he conducts all of his coaching and instruction in advance via video work.
Still speaking, "Most of it [is done on video] because I don't like...well when we train we train and we train hard. We only train for 60 to 70 minutes and I don't want to do my coaching out there. I want my players to already have the pictures in their heads, so when they're out there in training they train.

Tottenham preparing offer for Manchester United star in potential swap deal for Kane
Tottenham are reportedly preparing a £50million offer for one of Manchester United's wingers and both clubs could be open to a swap deal for Harry Kane.
"So if we're doing an exercise and it's about possession and build-up, counter-pressing and pressing, they've already got that information and then they're executing it out there. Then if it doesn't work then we can go back and look at it and then we do it better the next day.
"So rather than me or any of the other coaches out there stopping it and saying 'look when the ball is here, you need to be there', well if you look at the way we play, we just want to be relentless. We don't stop. So I've got to condition the players to train that way.
"If you keep stopping it then invariably they switch off. Even when we're having a drinks break, the drinks station is between two drills. Finish your drill, have a drink and then go to your next drill. They're not going to the side, having a bit of a chat and then getting back into it.
"If you're training, you're training. So for 60 to 70 minutes I've got them training, their minds focused in on our football and if you think about a game of football, how long does it last? Between 50 and 60 minutes [with the ball in play] so 25 to 30 minutes each half they've got to be on it and we train that here."
