binosh Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 It’s more recovery mid season, the majority of the hard stuff is pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunsletgreenandgold Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Play Friday and assume next game also a Friday - some of the below maybe more condensed if it's say a Saturday-Thurs turnaround. Saturday club players who picked up knocks or require additional recovery support would be down at the training ground Sunday - day off Monday - would be in early, recovery sessions in full swing for all players. Then video game review of the last match as a squad with separate convos for individuals with coaches. Possibly some light ball work. Tuesday - fully back out on the training field and starting to look at this weeks opposition and any defensive/attacking shapes that need to be tweaked for that. Gym session later on. Wednesday - a bit more in depth look at this weeks opposition (most likely with video review) and consolidating how that needs to look in the training session that will follow, to execute it as planned. More gym work later on. Thursday - morning off, in later for squad announcement and then out for captain's run. Friday - game day! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do is it a bad thing? I highly doubt it at this stage. Maybe if they go completely professional they might. As you pointed out though it's probably a bit more difficult with women because of the different ways they carry weight plus I'd say there would be fluctuations with their cycle/hormones.

Players get a medical assessment to determine if they need any individual treatments during the coming week or whether they're passed fully fit to undertake the regular weeks training. Most of that day is spent with the medical team, physio's and conditioning staff. The next day is the usually a 'day off' / light training' and then back to a full training session the day after.

Yeah there's clearly slight variations to this depending on the type of recovery sessions you're doing ( I mean some lads used to be straight on with an hour after the game) but I'm just basing it on what I did. That was only up to academy level mind, but we pretty much mirrored what the senior squad did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Women training and competing at an elite level isn't anything new, it's been happening in athletics for decades. Team sports are playing catch up and I think in RL are a long way off that, particularly in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnM Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 All very interesting and revealing. Forum discussion at it's best. One question: do players undertake any specific training to improve their speed? Not just doing it, but being measured, videoed, analysed etc. "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.
