Sixty minutes of physical work on the middle of PalaTrento court , and to follow another half an hour of individual technique on basic skills of receiving and sets, have today closed the sixth week of pre-season preparation of Diatec Trentino. Even during the period just completed the five players of 2015/16 squad, have worked profitably waiting to play the first sessions with the entire group, in exactly ten days.
"In the first month and a half of preparation we had time to work hard and well and we took full advantage of it”- explained the athletic trainer Martin Poeder -.” It created an important muscle basis for the workouts that we're going to do during the season; I think we reached a good level but obviously we can’t already be at the top: it wouldn’t even be the right time. Who had already worked with us in the past, as Djuric and Nelli, which are already in shape and can start seeing the first results, while the new players, inevitably have yet to complete the process of adaptation. From this point of view, at least initially, we will have some problem when the group will be complete, because most of the players who will arrive in Trento after the European, has never worked with us before. We will have to know one another, to understand the physical structure of everyone, in order to find the best training systems not only from the technical and tactical but also physical level.”
"In the next two weeks we will perform a program of physical and athletic work, different from the earlier ones”- said the trainer from Brixen -.”There will be more space for finishing and for the definition just to try to be in the best possible conditions for the Italian SuperCup."
During this weekend, the Italian champions will have a day and a half off, and then will gather in PalaTrento on Monday morning to resume training.
