A week of training

Team games are in full swing, summer holidays are approaching and many national tournaments are currently underway. Today I'll show you how you can organize a training week before a tournament or team game. The week is intended to serve as inspiration and can be adjusted depending on your training level and time.

Monday

Fitness:

1. Continuous run 30-45 minutes

Helps recover from matches the previous weekend and build basic endurance

2. Yoga or stretching

It's best to do it immediately after the run and in the evening before going to bed

If you had a tournament or game, you can also take today off
