Nicholas Gonzalez chases a train doing Hill Work!
The Alex Cobo Soccer Academy uses Advanced Athletes Performance for their fitness needs. This year his main squad is Under 15 and they have mostly been with us for 12 months. I decided to take them to some pretty good hills alnongside the Tram Lines over a bridge in Preston. Approximately 130m in length but not so steep that they cant sprint.
Nicholas Gonzalez started his 5th rep just when a tram rattled past and he nearly stayed with it all the way up the hill. Power effort! The last pic shows that by the 7th rep the lads were exhausted. A great insight into what hard training is. 90% of their work is with the balls and we usually do core stability and core strength circuits coupled with run technique and speed. But once of was a good chance to do something different.
