I just think that a lot of focus is put on exercise, which is part of fitness. Yet, rest and recovery is an important aspet of fitness also. Like I said previously. Over exertion. So they are training too hard, and then, next thing you know, a hamstring has been pulled in a game. A warm up for a game should only be 15 minutes. Just gentle exercise. Yet, to say the injuries are more than a coincidence. It's a collective factor. An athlete performs at his best, yet they are all following the same training routines. Yet, every player is different, so maybe the fitness training works for some players, yet other players, need more time to warm up. Or less time to warm up. Maybe this one size fits all approach to training players. Maybe looking at them as individuals, and seeing how we can get the best out of them. That's how you get results. Listen. I said this before. I will say this again.
It's not just the medical team. It's the physio's getting the players back from injury. I remember playing in a football game and pulled a hamstring, ages ago now. Because I warmed up too much. The top clubs focus on the individuals, and Wolves, from an outsiders perspective. When I watch the videos of them at Compton. It all looks very professional. They have their breakfast/brunch. They go work out, go to training, they then hit the gym. It's all standard stuff. Yet our training facilities, are one of the best in the Premier League.
Also, take into the factors of a players life outside of training, everyone has different lives. So, what players do in their personal life with, how they approach for fitness. Could be a contribution. Only so much can be done at Molineux and at Compton. When players go home. Some graft and really dig into the fitness side of things. I remember Dave Edwards was a grafter despite his injuries. He would literally just be super focused on food and nutrition. Also, attitude is a major factor. If you have a positive mindset, you are more likely to produce good results. Lee Naylor was a good example of this, always glass was half full. Yet you have to be realistic. I hope this comment clarifies things. I have been thinking about this for a while now. Best of wishes to the Wolves fan base. Always is one pack. Remember, it's a marathon not a sprint. Taking it easy. Rayan is a good example of a player who has a very cool relaxed attitude which helps him focus in games.
