Luis, i think you take this football biz way too serious, but I give you props for owning your s@%t! These little babes have a lot of years ahead and pushing them to always go hard can lead to injuries. I hope we all pay as much attention to recovery after a hard game/practice. I know some girls go at it hard 6 days a week. Futsal, arena, 3v3s personal lessons, speed training, you name it. Guess what, that only for these girls ahead by a season, because now most of the team has caught up on skill and technical abilities.
Yes recovery is important. But I don’t agree that most the girls have caught up on skills and technical ability by just going to team practice. The girls that keep training outside of practice keep getting much more technical and skilled then the ones only attending team practice. I can tell you that on our team a couple of starters from last season became bench players now since they only go to team practice. And the a few bench players from last year the are doing the extras are now starters. The separation will become even more evident from the ones that do the extras and the ones that don’t, if they don’t jump on board and train outside of practice.
