Shakhtar women’s team are preparing for the Vyshcha League second stage
On Tuesday, January 14, Shakhtar women’s team had an intense training session at the Academy facility in Shchaslyve.
The coaching staff pays a lot of attention to aerobic work, organising the process so that sessions contribute to improving the physical condition of players. The session started with running in the open air, after which the girls moved to the indoor facility, where they performed technique and footwork exercises with the ball, and played squares.
Viktoriia Holovach, Shakhtar captain:
– As always after the break, the team get back to training in a good mood and ready to work at full strength. It is noticeable that everyone missed football and training sessions, so the atmosphere in the team is great.
– What are you actively working on now and what are your general expectations for the training camp?
– The first stage of the training camp is focused on the development of aerobic and strength endurance, so we do a lot of running work. In the future, we will work on technical and tactical aspects and development of speed qualities.
– Shakhtar will play in the competitive group in the second part of the season like last year. How do you assess competition among the top six teams and has the level of the championship increased compared to previous years?
– I think the level of Ukrainian women’s football is increasing. Although teams are not playing at the same level now, but the weaker ones are gradually approaching the teams that are among the leaders of the table. Now all teams are imposing a struggle and can take points away from each other.
– What individual and team goals do you set for yourself for 2025?
– The individual goals are definitely important, but the team goals come first, so I want to take the top places and reach the European Cup zone. We are really working hard for this, and we have a young team. As for the individual goals, I aim to progress and return to the national team, and also score and assist in every game.
