First exercises with the ball

  • Fabien Alexandre

The preparation continues for the players of the FCG. Indoor work, races and ball on the program of the day

"I ran a lot during the holidays (laughs)" Fabien Alexandre smiled. At the beginning of the season, the Grenoblois flanker appreciates the first days of work concocted by the new staff of the FCG: "We're having on a very different way to work. We have a lot of new and different things, it's good. "

Johnny Claxton, the club's new conditioning coach, has to prepare the bodies of his group. "We have three different groups, arriving at different times, with the new players who will arrive in early July and the rest of the young players who will come next Monday. We must make sure that the three groups of players take the rhythm and are at the same level. That's the challenge, that's our first goal. "

The reduced number is almost a plus for the players. "It changes, usually we're between 40 and 50. This week, we're a couple of young people. We learn a little about them, "explains Fabien Alexandre. "There are also many new faces in the staff. We get to know everyone, their way of working. "

The working week continues on Wednesday, with a recovery session, which will be necessary for the two big days of work on Thursday and Friday with sessions outside at noon.

But it is the tough law of sport: you have to know how to suffer to be successful!
