Shakhtar women’s team completed the first cycle of their training camp in Shchaslyve focused on aerobic work
On Wednesday, January 21, the Shakhtar footballers began the session with extensive running drills. Afterwards, the Miners moved on to ball work, including a series of passing exercises and squares, during which they honed decision-making speed and spatial awareness in tight areas. Meanwhile, the goalkeepers followed a separate programme and joined the main group for the finishing shooting series at the end of the session.
Kateryna Kuksa, midfielder:
– I’m really happy to be back at work. The week has passed in a positive mood, as we all missed each other during the break. Over the holiday, I was able to fully recharge after the busy first part of the season – I did individual training and prepared for the camp.
– Tell us more, how did the first cycle of the training camp feel for you?
– The first sessions were introductory, and we are gradually increasing the intensity of the athletics and running drills. At the same time, the focus is shifting to ball work, especially passing and shooting.
– There’s a lot of work ahead. What are your goals for the camp and the second half of the Vyshcha League season?
– The main task is to prepare thoroughly for the second part of the season and to make the most of the training camp. For the spring part of the season, our aim is to finish in the top five and continue striving to win every match.
The second phase of preparation begins on Friday, during which the Orange-and-Blacks will focus on increasing the intensity of training with two sessions a day: mornings will be devoted to aerobic work, while evenings will focus on ball exercises.
