As preparation continues for the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers in March, former Golden Jaguars Captain Christopher Nurse, feels that the immediate focus of the management team should be on the physical condition of the players.
According to the former midfield dynamo in an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sport, the training team should place emphasis on the physical conditioning of the players and training sessions should be tailored to reflect the game conditions that will likely occur.
“I think the main focus is to try and get the players into physical match condition by playing and training in a manner that reflects the game conditions as often as possible in practice sessions. Structure, organization and discipline will be keys to the success of the team. If there is a solid foundation and understanding of the game plan the team wants to execute, then it will allow the local players to have a good opportunity to supplement the overseas-based players who have been playing competitive games more frequently over the course of the last year.”
