Got out early for a 15km route which basically ran around all the Schalke grounds. Ran past all the first team out doing their morning drills. I love the fact that this is a people's club and that the players are accessible. In England you'd never be able to walk on to the training ground of a Champions League club.
Jack today had his usual technical session in the morning followed by the academy in the afternoon but this time outside on the 3G. Did good today. Yesterday he did particularly well in the 1 on 1s and the game. He is getting more aggressive.
Other things of note today;
- fitness is key. At one point they had been continually running for 30 minutes through a circuit of ladders, jumps followed by passing and shooting accuracy after each loop. All the boys are equal on both feet.
- in the game situations the coaches play too and do not hold back one bit. Crunching tackles.
