More than three weeks have now passed since the start of training for the Plus VolleyBall Sabaudia, which will finally make its debut in the blue group of the Credem Banca A3 series championship against Folgore Massa on Sunday 15 October. It was a very intense period, which saw the technical staff and athletes united with a single objective, that of restarting the engines after the long summer break. It is therefore time to draw the first conclusions of this initial phase of training, in which the technical and athletic parts have had an equal weight in preparing the players for the rigors of a championship, which at least on paper, does not promise to be easy at all, given the quality of the teams involved and the caliber of the personalities called to participate.
Leondino Giombini (coach Plus Volleyball Sabaudia): “Definitely positive balance sheet. We are concluding the third week trying to keep the pace as high as possible, both in terms of the physical and technical aspects. Despite the imposing workloads, I can’t complain about the reaction of the players, who proved to be very reactive, especially from a technical point of view. I am happy with the appointment on Friday 15th, the day in which we will have the opportunity to compete on the field for the first time in a joint training session with Cisterna Volleyball. This date is important because we will have the opportunity to become familiar with the pitch, which is ultimately the element that counts. As regards preparation more closely, for now we are training every day, except for the weekend which I leave essentially free, in a very intense way, paying particular attention to the physical part. This is the goal for next week too. In the next ones I will cut back a little on quantity and I will try to focus on quality in view of the start of the championship.”
Samuel Onwuelo (Plus Volleyball Sabaudia): : “I am very happy about my return to the field after the summer break. The training sessions under the careful guidance of Coach Giombini helped me immediately return to full physical efficiency. I am particularly happy of the good feeling that has been established between the teammates, with some of whom we have traveled parts of the road in common in the past. Now our minds are already set on the start of the championship, which promises to be very difficult, but I am convinced that with with the right mentality and the correct approach on the pitch we will be able to get some satisfaction.”
