2001 Winning Goal



* 2 Weeks - leading up to the start of the 6 week training program *

Monday to Friday (Rest on Saturday & Sunday)


Jogging for 20 minutes up and down the Hockey Field without rest in between, try to do as many as possible - try to keep jogging at 60% of maximum speed.

Goal Line<--------------------------------------------------------------->Goal Line

Do a basic stretch down, keep each stretch for 20 seconds - repeat 3 times: - Muscle Groups - Quadriceps, Calf, Hamstrings, ITB, Gluteus Muscles, Abductors, or 2 x 1000 meters @ 5 minutes per kilometers

This enables you to get a base fitness level before the serious pre-season starts - do it, it helps tremendously for the season!!!!!

A good rule of thumb for base fitness is: 4000 meters in 15 minutes (3 minutes 45 seconds per kilometer), followed after a 5 minute break by 1500 meters in 5 minutes (3 minutes 20 seconds per kilometer) - if you can do that, then you are fit - if you cannot do it, then you need to work an extra week or two on your base fitness!!!!!!
