Shakhtar women's team are preparing for the new season

On Tuesday, July 16, Shakhtar women’s team had another training session at the Academy facility in Shchaslyve.

The 90-minute drill began with a running warm-up and recreational exercises in subgroups aimed at developing speed endurance and coordination within a limited space. Next, the girls switched to combined work with the ball, where they practiced the passing accuracy and finishing, while the goalkeepers had a separate programme. The training session ended with an integral running.

Nataliia Chendei, forward:

– The session traditionally started with game exercises and running warm-up, then we worked with the ball and practised passing with special attention paid to the accuracy of shots and passes, as well as coordination movements.

– Sessions are held at high temperatures. Tell us how to train in the heat and how loads affect the body?
– It is very difficult to exercise at such a high temperature, the heat is extra stressful. Under such conditions, morning drill is much more difficult than evening one, since the air temperature is higher in the morning.

– What is the main difference between morning and evening sessions?
– Morning sessions are aimed at developing speed qualities, improving physical endurance, reaction and general physical fitness. In the evening, the focus is on the development of technical and tactical skills, so at this time the team work more with the ball. In general, I like evening ones better.

– It is less than a month until the season kicks off. Share your expectations for the new season.
– The team have already checked out the fixture schedule, and I can say that we are lucky because most of the matches will be at home. It is necessary to get into the top six at the end of the first stage and demonstrate a quality play. We are looking forward to the start of the season.
