Skiing background helped Schuster to Brentford
Brentford's new defender Jannik Schuster is steeped in sporting excellence – just not in the sport you might expect. From Tirol, a renowned skiing region of Austria, Schuster learned from his high-performance sporting family but chose a different path when he joined RB Salzburg at under-14 level. It was there that the 6ft 3in centre-back used that mentality to develop through the youth ranks into a well-rounded player.
