The importance of the preseason
During the vacations the disconnection is usually very high. The stress generated by the previous year forces many players to escape from soccer. Therefore, the preseason is very important for them. It provides them with a series of crucial benefits for the start of the competition.
Benefits for the player
The main benefit is that the number of injuries is reduced. With a balanced preseason, players are able to tolerate the workload. If the volume of work is increased from the minimum to the maximum, it is likely that many will end up with discomfort or injury.
In addition, the preseason is the stage where the members of the squad try to earn an important role within the team. A training camp helps coaches get to know their players on and off the field. This is important for the psychological aspect.
