The warm-up of Vecchi and his teammates proceeds relentlessly, now in full swing with a rich calendar of friendly tests to season the work in the gym and in the weight room in order to get back to breathing rhythm and competition situations. The last confrontation, the external one last Friday on the taraflex della Lube, saw coach Ortenzi and his boys surrender all four sets played to the cooks (25-17; 25-21; 25-16; 25-20) providing however further and important indications from which to start again to reach a status as optimal as possible in view of the debut on 9 October.

Numbers and ideas to write down in the notebook of Francesco Pison, director and athletic trainer of the Grottese team, who took stock of the team’s path at the dawn of the fourth week of preparation: “I would say that on the whole we are doing a good job, everything is proceeding without particular hitches beyond some defections to which we hope to remedy as soon as possible. Week after week we are working with the aim of progressively increasing strength levels, consequently the volume of work in the weight room is still high but we will gradually begin to reduce it about ten days before the start of the tournament. ”
