With double training, weights and technique in the morning, work on the sand and beach volleyball in the afternoon, the second week of preparation for Gas Sales Bluenergy Volley Piacenza ended yesterday in view of the 2023-2024 season.

The seven players, Robertlandy Simon, Fabrizio Gironi, Edoardo Caneschi, Nicolò Hoffer, Francesco Recine, Fabio Ricci and Bruno Dias, with a double work session, thus completed the program drawn up by coach Andrea Anastasi and his staff for the inaugural period of the ‘activity. Staff which since yesterday also sees the presence of the athletic trainer Davide Grigoletto who has finished his commitments with the Swiss men’s national team.

A second week of preparation in which the workload was gradually increased, alternating daily exercises with the ball with those dedicated to athletic training and sessions in the weight room.

Francesco Recine: “We are working hard and I would say very well. The workload increases day after day, it’s been a tough two weeks but we know well that all this will be very useful to us in some time. There are only a few of us, it will be like this for several more weeks, we are a good group and I must say that we work hard but we also have fun. I have good feelings for the season that is about to begin, this year I started preparing with the team from day one, it hasn’t happened to me for a while, I work to be ready for every opportunity that will be given to me.”

The group already at Anastasi’s disposal will now enjoy three days of rest before returning to the gym and inaugurating the third week of preparation. The restart is in fact scheduled for Tuesday morning and some kids from the youth sector will join the group.
