Pre-season training update No3
Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2008 2:57 pmThe squad spent the morning doing 200 metre running sessions at Salt Ayre with the emphasis being on completing each session within a time set by Mark. These were not sprints more a means of getting a rytham going that could be sustained over a set distance. As previous pre-season sessions this was more scientific than in other pre-seasons with great emphasis put into recuperation after each running session. Once again Fraser excelled which was good to see.
Lunch was at the ground followed by work with the ball both as individuals and in a training game that featured the guys split into 3 teams with 2 v 1 on a rotating basis.
A couple of players were continuing their seperate programmes under the watchful eye of Dave Edge, otherwise everybody else was involved including a couple of trialists. One a former Chester / Wrexham central defender and the other a
Blackpool forward who wants to secure first team football on a regular basis elsewhere. He spoke highly of the sessions to date and certainly seemed impressed with Mark and his methods.
Both goalkeepers received personal coaching from a specialist goalkeeping coach.
On a slightly sadder note, the Fraser Eagle driver who has looked after the team since FE got involved came to the ground to say his goodbyes to the squad. He's off to a new position in Birmingham but he left CP the proud owner of a Shrimps shirt, no doubt signed by the squad.
