There has to be a glass ceiling in terms of how much training these amateur players with day jobs can do. Of course for the outside paid manager the more training sessions the better.
Karma,for what? Being the best team in the country? Long may it continue indeed!
That first paragraph is very misleading
Ands it’s going to become more and more common when you hear some of the training county teams are doing. And of course that has the effect of minor players starting weights earlier to ‘bulk’ up.
It’s karma and long may it continue
