Did You Know That This Lebanese Expert Works With Norway’s Erling Haaland?

Now that Erling Haaland is trending, we thought we’d spotlight one of the many amazing experts behind the unstoppable Viking this World Cup.

For those who don’t know, Lebanese movement therapist and biomechanics specialist John Haddad worked closely with Erling Haaland for years, helping him recover from injuries, improve his movement, and stay at the top of his game.

Known as “The Fix” and often referred to as a miracle man, Haddad has treated elite athletes across football and other sports, with Haaland regularly turning to him during crucial moments of his career.

During several injury setbacks, the Norwegian striker traveled to work with Haddad before making his return to the pitch. Haddad has been part of Haaland’s support team since his Borussia Dortmund days and has continued working with him throughout his Manchester City career.

Originally from Lebanon, Haddad founded Level 8, a biomechanics and movement therapy school that trains practitioners from around the world. Rather than focusing solely on treating injuries, his method aims to identify the root cause of movement problems, helping athletes perform more efficiently while reducing the risk of future injuries.

Today, his client list includes world-class footballers, MMA fighters, Olympians, and athletes from a wide range of sports. As Haaland continues to shine on football’s biggest stage, it’s a reminder that Lebanese expertise is making an impact far beyond our borders.

And what we’re basically saying is that Haaland is practically Lebanese.
