The video is about a person who decides to train like Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the fastest and most explosive soccer players, for a week. He begins by setting three personal records (PRs) to track his progress: vertical jump, 30-meter sprint, and scoring goals. He then proceeds to follow Ronaldo's daily routine, which includes waking up at 5 am for a full-body calisthenic workout, eating six small meals a day, and training with two soccer influencers, Brandon and Esteban.
Throughout the week, the person faces challenges and setbacks, including sore legs and struggling to cook and eat the required amount of food. Despite this, he perseveres and sees improvements in his training. On his rest days, he uses recovery methods such as napping, hydrotherapy, and cryotherapy.
At the end of the week, the person re-attempts his PRs and sees significant improvements: he increases his vertical jump by 4 inches, beats his 30-meter sprint time, and increases his goal-scoring rate from 1 out of 10 to 5 out of 10. Brandon, one of his coaches, also completes all the challenges and is rewarded with a Cristiano Ronaldo jersey.
