The program is entering it's off-season phase of the annual training plan. During this phase, the players will conduct some strength and conditioning training led by the program's strength and conditioning coach, Lindsey Materi.
The players will be in the gym throughout the winter weeks looking to enhance deficiencies in their overall physical makeup. A testing period will conclude this phase and transition into the summer club league play.
As the players are improving their physical game, the coaching staff are busy watching matches and recruiting players to improve the squad and replace the players who have graduated from the program.
It has taken some time but the program is definately moving in a positive direction. We have an annual training plan that takes the players through the proper rest periods, strength periods, and competition phases. We have added various science driven elements to our program to track the player's performances and will be profiling the players in years to come.
Among all of this, the team completed over 500 volunteer hours in the first term and obtained a program high of 3.56 team overall GPA.
Some exciting times for Mount Royal University Women's Soccer in the months ahead.
