Where are our local Aaron's and Sterlings?

Before a game?!!!

Context is important. Beach training is part of pre-season training for fitness not match preparation.

[Mosiah]

Before what game? Was this an important World Cup qualifier, or just a training match? Bricky just threw it out there and I ran wid it.

The point I was trying to make was, no matter what Carl Brown or any other local coach said, some of us would have a problem with it. But once the farin coach did it, everything criss.

Bricky would have to show me where this training took place just before an important game.

Gamma check the conclusion specifically, it is of course just one study but very interesting conclusion. It is fundamentally saying you get a 'better burn with less impact' which basically says it is the best environment before a match, we struggle with match fitness in general as our players and local playing environment lacks professionalism, this could be one option for improving fitness and match readiness. Maybe if Waterhouse was doing some intense sand pit training they would not look like some fish on dry land gasping to breathe with movement limited to slithering around within a few feet of where they were standing.

Conclusions
These results show that on sand it is possible to perform maximal intensity sprints with higher energy expenditure and metabolic power values, without reaching maximum speed and with smaller impact shocks. Furthermore, exercises with change of direction carried out on this surface allow to reach higher deceleration values. In addition, sprinting on sand potentially entails a limited stretch of the involved muscles. It can therefore offer a valid alternative to traditional training, injury prevention and rehabilitation programs.

I guess we need to wait for the "academy league"... wid 1 or 2 academies "competing"

woooiiee

[Bricktop]

dem can stay at that new 17 story pegasus hotel dem buil in portmore...woieee mi flying hotel...

[Mosiah]

Exactly Stoni!

I don't see anywhere in the article, or others I've read, where it says sand training is only for preseason. We believe it is because that is what we did for years.

Jamaica needs better transfer policies or routes out of the island for the youths like the C. Rica model, that to me is the cheapest and fastest way to develop youth, youth transfer out and track development.

This would have to entail a coming together of the stakeholders,again from forgein reps to locals.

This academy thing cost too much and requires time, the alternative would ultimately lead to interest setting up academies based on the new transfer policy.

[Mosiah]

Heh heh!

[Assasin]

Have you ever done sand work??? It definitely make your feet feel like lead. It is not for regular season. It help to strengthen you legs but....

[Sir X]

Yuh wud bathe, in fact everybady would...ahh mean from 98 dem cann build academy ?

[Karl]

Yuh seit!

[Mosiah]

Yes, your legs feel like lead on the sand. Imagine what it feels like when you move to grass!

[Mosiah]

Exactly! But the clubs are holding out for too much in my opinion.

[Sir X]

This is where leadership comes from the JFF , but their interest are in building an academy from 98 .

This is where Burrell fails, its the only commonsense solution, stakeholders coming together and seeing how they profit in the long run, every bady bathes.

I saw all of that Stoni and it is a well and good when working on your fitness. Sand training which I have done is also more draining and requires the muses to to do more work thereby increasing muscle fatigue which is NOT what you want before a game. I just went through this with my son's track and fix training. Beach training removed from the training cycle immediately before competition.

At best, light training may be an option however to run "doggies" in the sand is more demandin than on grass or turf.
