‘’We need to take advantage of this rest period to improve..."

The training sessions of the team at the BLM Group Arena are continuing during the first days of the new year. The nine players available for the technical staff, today have done the second training session of the 2020 (with weights and balls); on Saturday they’ll make other two before the 5th of January, their day off. The recovery is planned for the Epiphany, to spend in the gym only during the afternoon.
‘’What we are experiencing during this days in the gym it’s definitely an unusual period, but to which we were prepared  - explained at Trentino Volley TV the athletic trainer of the team Alessandro Guazzaloca - . Since there are only 9 available players we had planned a training program for some time. We want to make the most of this pause, so that the players who hadn't had the chance to sustain a real pre-season preparation at the end of the summer would be in better condition now. I’m talking about Giannelli and Candellaro, who have been following a particular training session both on weight room and on the pitch. We’ll certainly lose the rhythm game during these weeks and we won’t be completely able to work on the dynamic of the group, but we can take care of the single player both from the point of view of the physical condition and technique.”
“How about the athletic preparation we took advantage from the days of rest in order to provide an alternative game - said Guazzaloca - . From this point of view we’re lucky to be helped by the possibility of having both longer rest days and the absence of official meeting in short time. To give an example: December was a phase of “unloading” while the first time of January will be a phase of “loading” to our players. At the same time we’ll follow the match in Berlin, where 4 of our players will be envolved in their respective country in order to understand how they’ll play and if they’ll have any problems during the game. The risk, in this case, is not only connected to the fact that they play a many matches in short time, but to the fact that they could be injured or exhausted”.
