Keeping fit

Eaglehamster Storrington 11 Jun 20 11.05pm
Most of our players have the means to have a gym at home. They can all go running. So exercising should be easy for them. While I know they can't be match fit, I wonder how many have done their best to maintain fitness as well as they can. This lockdown should have been seen to the players as a great opportunity to fully recover from the nags they all endure. It'll be interesting to see what shape they're in. I really hope that considering they're all being paid in full, they've done their best to be in shape. I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

I agree. I was saying this to a friend who was saying it's not fair that the players aren't getting a proper pre season for when the games resume. If it is your full time job to be physically quick and strong there is absolutely no excuse to not be in peak physical condition (unless you're injured etc). This is different to match sharpness / match confidence.

They'll certainly be lacking in match sharpness, but they have no excuse for putting weight or getting out of shape. During lockdown there has been very little to do other than exercise! A lot of people are probably the fittest they have ever been.

PvA had his personal trainer move in with his family to ensure he could continue training during lockdown. I imagine others have done the same, or used Zoom, etc to receive guided training sessions. Our tactics require that our players cover a lot of ground so it will be noticeable pretty quickly if any of them are out of shape.

This has been the perfect time to overcome niggles, but let's hope the motivation has been there to stay fit. Some players need that team dynamic and a bit of hairdryer treatment from time to time to stay in peak condition.
