Post Season Training

[Suhari]

In a change to the ongoing meltdown discussions..........

 

 

I'm interested if anyone can shed some light on what goes on with Saints players in the way of post-season training? Clearly those away on international will be still training full time, but what about those who aren't?

 

Guessing it's not a case of finish the last game and bugger off for a few weeks. Presumably there's fitness assessments, off-season training schedules etc. Do players still go into Staplewood for 'formal' sessions with the coaches? Are they required to train on their own? What do they get in the way of actual holiday time?

 

Interested if anyone can share some factual info on this.

Players can do as they please but know the tests they will be put through first week back will show whether they've been naughty boys or not so they very much have to self-police.

The club I am currently at, the players are sent off with a generic fitness programme during the summer. It has cheat days and is much more relaxed regarding alcohol dairy etc. The players have to log what they eat.

 

 

When pre-season testing comes along such as V02, BMI, Bleep etc it shows those that are disciplined and those who let themselves go.
