The German World Cup squad is entering the decisive preparation period: the last training camp is on.
A few days before the big tournament, they swear in and play again.
It is doubtful whether the German World Cup stars will be the same, but - quite honestly - the best stories in the life of an amateur soccer player are written at training camps.
From occasional, nightly escapades to tough Playstation tournaments to completely adventurous team outings, soccer players will be happy to share this or that story again and again later on.
But despite all the fun and team spirit, a training camp is also a useful opportunity to be effective and Concentrated to prepare for the season. We therefore provide you with help on how to make your training camp a success.
When soccer fields in this country close snowy winter landscapes Mutate is usually out of the question of proper training.
Many teams seize the opportunity to leave the wet and cold everyday life behind and say their goodbyes south. South Tyrol, Croatia, Turkey or Spain are often the addresses for a weather-independent training camp.
With the vacation application submitted just in time, an often not inconsiderable share of the players and a few officials who are otherwise rarely found on the soccer field, it's off to warmer climes.
Almost a week from morning to evening without exception soccer in the head, That is exactly why training camps have become so popular. Camps are also a valuable measure for trainers.
In addition to lots of soccer, there will also be plenty of time for the troupe's technical and tactical fine-tuning.
Finally, a game against a local team, which is about nothing less than honor, and the training camp becomes a real guarantee of success in terms of soccer training and team building.
Amateur soccer is used to it His soccer shoes 2 to 3 times a week to tie up and have the peak of his workload in the game at the weekend. In training camp, however, you want to complete an entire week's program in just one day.
Which can work, of course, but only if loads are properly controlled and rest periods are incorporated.
We are the game changer — B42
For us, there is no question that you should use the time in training camp for a session in the morning and one in the afternoon. Predictive coaches usually plan and manage their units clearly based on the respective focal areas.
This means that physically demanding sessions are not exclusively reeled off with little break time. It should therefore also include running and energy-intensive units with tactical or technical unitsthat are based on a low training load.
If there is a reasonable training load on the soccer field, the only question that remains is the less popular beach or Waldläuchen early in the morning. We recommend that you not see this unit from a performance perspective, but as an active regeneration.
In this, you can vary between easy runs, walks and mobilizing measures. To restore performance levels, we recommend in particular the mobility units in our app, but also the preparation programs of GameChanger or the stability units.
In addition to regenerative training options, the topic of nutrition in training camps is particularly decisive. An expansive buffet and quick access to an alcoholic beverage can have a negative effect on players' regeneration.
We want to leave it up to the respective coaches whether this can be allowed at the end of a long day. When it comes to the lunch buffet, we say no. In order to still get through an intensive day well, we recommend the following:
It is important to avoid eating breakfast abroad shortly before the first training session. However, there is nothing wrong with a small portion of carbohydrates.
After the sessions, it is important to fill the emptied carbohydrate stores and get the fluid balance back on track.
To optimize recovery, we recommend a combination of carbohydrates and protein in a ratio of 3:1. An example of this would be a portion of fish and a large portion of potatoes.
note: Should your entire team have a discussion every evening in the hotel lobby or the local “dance bar” over 5-12 beers, all previous information is considered void.
Last but not least, we would like to mention that training camps are of course important to improve players sustainably and thus Chances of success for entire teams to maximize. But a training camp is — as already mentioned — also a camaraderie event that should not be underestimated.
A free afternoon is therefore not only sports science, especially towards the mid/end of the training camp, but also for Team spirit of great importance. After all, most have taken extra vacation for the one-week life of a professional, postponed exams and often paid for them themselves.
We wish you successful and injury-free preparation and a nice training camp.
