Thursday’s training sessions for ARIS FC players included not one but two training sessions on Jurmala’s beach. Of course, those sessions had nothing to do with relaxing or swimming, but with training. As it happened every day this week, the morning run at 7:00 was the one that kicked off the day.
Later in the morning, our players held the second training of the day, only this time it was held on the pitch, performing a training that included technical-tactical exercises. ARIS goalkeepers also had the chance to work on the "VKEEPR" program that exercises the mental functions of goalkeepers through virtual reality technology.
The last session was held at the beach, with the players combining intense training—as is the case of foot-volleyball on the sand—with the pleasure of the game. On another note, the three Gabonese players, Babicka, Moussounda, and Djave, joined the rest of the team in Latvia on Thursday afternoon, and they started working immediately. Later that day, they got the chance to train for the first time here in Latvia.
