Following a jam packed travel and match schedule, the theNCCourage were back in Athletic Lab again today. In the past 2 weeks, the team had a heavy travel and match load. In stretches like this we try to manage the aspects of player training load that we can control so that they are ready to perform at their best in games. During this period, we micro-dosed with high-intensity / low-volume on-pitch and gym sessions to maintain their strength and power without adding to the fatigue from their games and travel. Striking this balance between fitness and fatigue is always critical in-season. Also, since several players on the team hadn't been in the gym for 2 weeks and we were starting a new training cycle with some different exercises we carefully limited the loads and volumes so they wouldn't get excessively sore or tired. With these considerations in mind, the girls were still able to put in a great training session with mikeyoungphd and greg.gustin that will lay the ground work for an even more productive subsequent session the next time the team is in.
