Over the first couple days in Cancún, each of the four training sessions were very similar. Lots of running and lots of stretching, and an emphasis on fundamentals with the ball. However, Day 4 (Sunday) and Day 5 (Monday) have seen vastly different training methods.
Sunday’s morning session saw the field players and the goalkeepers take different paths. The field players jogged roughly a mile to the gym with head coach Matias Almeyda, assistant coaches Benjamin Galindo and Omar Zarif, strength and conditioning coaches Guido Bonini and Daniel Hicker, and the team’s training staff. Bonini led the players through a series of workouts that included squats, pull-ups, agility ladders, 30-second sprints, dumbbell presses, and more.
