TUCSON, Ariz. – The LA Galaxy were pushed to the limit during their week-long training camp in Arizona.
According to Director of Sports Performance Pierre Barrieu, the Galaxy’s fitness program will serve as the group’s foundation for the taxing MLS regular season. Under the hot Arizona session, Barrieu and his training group led the team through double sessions that balanced fitness training with soccer-specific training.
“Only the future will say, but I think this was something that we needed. We’ve been working hard in one specific area of fitness,” Barrieu told LA Galaxy Insider. “It’s the good old cliché about building the aerobic base; we’ve been doing the type of running that we needed to do and now we can move on to something else.
