Technical Director of this country’s women’s program Even Pellerud restarted training of National teams last Friday and has adopted a different approach towards the preparations of the teams from what been the norm in the past.
"The Women's football program re-starts training following a year of high activity and significant achievements, highlighted by the U17 team's WC finals and first ever World cup win. We have also seen performance development and result improvement as relates to the Senior WC team and the U20 WC team. Our U15 team represented our country very well at the Youth Olympic Games in August,” Pellerud told TTFF Media.
“Director of Women's program and assistant Director Jamaal Shabazz has re-tooled the overall program in order to build on these successes, and in order to make the program better and more efficient,” he added.
“Instead of training the three different World Cup teams in three different groups and environments, we will keep the groups partly together as one group, while we also will accommodate the teams' need of team specific training and camp environment”
The sessions will run for the next four weeks prior to a break and there will be resumption in January 2011.
“We will conduct three to four sessions per week and the majority of these sessions will be fitness and strength and conditioning. Football specific sessions will be added in due time,” Pellerud concluded.
