This training camp is offering value added services, for both the senior and junior squads. Greyling Viljoen from the HPC in Pretoria, who has been involved with the sprint team for years, has just spent 2 days working with the soon-to-be-brilliant minds of all the athletes. Trying to squeeze as much 'improved performance' out of the guys and girls as possible. He has been such a breath of fresh air, with his experience and professionalism, lifting the over all experience to a higher level for all. Thank you Greyling for making the trip out here, we will perform better for it.
Tomorrow brings the arrival of Ryan Hodierne, a biomechanical and video analysis specialist. We look forward to what he can offer to help optimise the combinations in our team boats.
Prof. Andrew McKune from UKZN is also going to be with us for the rest of the week. He is going to be trying out the use of real time monitoring of each athlete during each training session. We hope that this could really improve the monitoring of the athletes on an individual session basis. Prof. McKune is also bringing 3 students who are going to be available to massage the athletes. Julia will be very happy for their help!
What a great next few days! Definitely taking steps in the right direction :)
