Steve Black column: Fantastic kick-off
Actually, such are the rigours and physical demands of professional football, the preparation for next Friday’s game began at around 5.25pm last Saturday when, after a short and succinct dressing room chat, the lads went into the pool for a recovery.
Footballers do need to look after themselves these days, and modern players on the whole really do appreciate the benefits of healthy living and eating.
If they live well, train well they’ll invariably play well!
It’s not rocket science, but the teams that succeed have the discipline to get into that habitual behaviour, week-in, week-out.
Have a wonderful Christmas. God Bless.
Onwards and upwards!
Blackie
