Shakhtar women’s team have returned from their summer break and are preparing for the new season

On Monday, June 22, the Shakhtar players held their first training session of the pre-season camp, which is taking place at the Academy base in Shchaslyve.

The introductory session was aimed at gradual adaptation to physical workloads and began with aerobic running exercises. The team then moved on to ball work, with the main focus on ball control, decision-making speed and finishing accuracy within a limited part of the pitch using mini goals. The training session lasted almost two hours.
I’m highly motivated to work hard, keep developing and prepare for the new season
Oksana Henyk, defender:

– During the break, I managed to rest, switch off from football and spend time with my loved ones. After a demanding season, it was important to recover both physically and mentally, so I now feel much fresher and ready for new challenges. Returning to training always brings special emotions. On the one hand, you need to get back into the working rhythm after a break, but on the other, I really missed the team, the training sessions and the football atmosphere. I’m highly motivated to work hard, keep developing and prepare for the new season.
