We are hearing a lot that players who we’ve brought in are not yet match fit?
So what does that mean exactly? Is it simply that after running for a short period of time they are blowing out of their backsides? Is it a mental attitude fitness where being in a new club, getting to know new people they haven’t settled in yet? Or is it to do with them not yet having got to grips with the tactics the team play (don’t laugh!). Or are they carrying knocks that they haven’t quite recovered from?
I really can’t believe that these players who are young, athletic with all the tools needed to get fit quickly such as a super class gym and facilities, personal training regimes, physiotherapists, dieticians and chefs can’t get match fit quicker. By God I’m 63 and given all that they have at their disposal I could be fitter quicker!!
You couldn’t make this up- ‘Three of the five stages of the Junior Tour of Wales, which starts on Friday, have been changed as support vehicles would not be able to keep up with the riders without speeding.’ This is from BBC news and states that the cycling event had to avoid 20mph zones as the support vehicles can’t keep up with the speeding cyclists as they don’t have to adhere to any limits!
