First Day ⚽
This post I will like to share what happens on day one of reporting in the National Team when I was the Fitness Coach. It surely was a new experience for me, for someone who has come from the Malaysian League for 12 years before I set foot in the National team in 2014. During my time in the League I was always with the players and I basically knew my players in and out as I was seeing them on a daily basis like family. The National team was totally a different ball game where I was getting info from the trainers in the clubs and also talking to the players when I visit them in clubs/games or a casual phone call.
Basically I will rely on info from the trainers and feedback I get from my head Physio Mr Siva where we will monitor players which are in the coaches plans. I will normally go for games assign by the head coach and monitor the players and also speak to them. I will also monitor playing time these players have in the clubs and also how they are training in the clubs. This is where communication plays a very important part between clubs and also players. This is roughly how the process is in a very simple way, will elaborate further next time.
On day one, players will report at a given time depending to the hotel or FAM. when they report I will conduct a Wellness evaluation. I will gather their weight and a Wellness Questionnaire which is about their Sleep Quality, Fatigue, Muscle Soreness, Stress Level and Mood. Its based on a value of 1-5. With 5 being the best and 1 is very bad. This evaluation is also done every morning when the players wake up when in camp. This helps determine if the player is ready to train on the day and also how they feel. This date will help will relate with the RPE evaluation done after every session. Will elaborate further next time.
So basically on day one of reporting before any session is done, we are fully aware of all injuries and also if the player is able to join the full training or a modified session. We also know if the player is ready mentally with the questionnaire. I will speak on the Wellness Evaluation in the future as its a very huge topic.
So That's the first session before any physical session.
UNDERSTAND YOUR PLAYERS AS THEY ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN SOCCER⚽
