For the first hour of this session, the medical staff including myself turned up to training early to assess the progression of players rehabilitation, for this we all mustered in the gym to run through and demonstrate different exercises to incorporate into different stages of the rehab plans we are currently doing with several of the players. This allowed us to learn from each other, correct our own techniques and try new exercises that we may not have performed or included in rehab plans before.

During the second hour, the players began to arrive at the grounds as did the coaching staff, so we started performing our covid testing to ensure everyone was safe and clear to attend training. The players that required rehab or treatment then headed down to the treatment room to commence pre-training treatment.

For the third hour, the players headed into the gym to complete the first section of the training session working on strength all working different areas of the body to target weaknesses highlighted by the coaching staff and to target areas that they specifically need to use in their individual positions.

Finally, we spent an hour pitch side during training while the players participated in specific skills and drills to improve their technical play and then went onto anaerobic games to help the players improve their fitness to adapt to the new rules of the game as a result of covid to help decrease the spread.
