The PNF pays off: 20 girls, with an average of 1m74, including one of 1m95, will start work at Cenard from the 18th, after a month of virtual training. “We are excited,” said Gregorio Martínez.
The National Training Project, the plan that the Argentine Confederation launched at the end of the year to recruit and develop young female talent throughout the country, has already begun to bear fruit. In just weeks … In recent weeks it served as the axis to put together a call for 20 players who will train at CeNARD from Thursday 18 until March 1 thinking about the South American U15 that will be played between 12 and 17 April and will grant qualification for the Americup U16 May
“Beyond the girls that we know have conditions, regardless of their height, we want to train tall”mentioned Gregorio Martínez, head coach of the women’s national team who devised this PNF 2028 thinking about detecting and training the taller girls, without neglecting the others. “In this preselection we have six players over 1m80. Even one who is 1m95 (Nerea Lagowski), aged 14”, remarked Martínez, who will not lead the team (Sandra Pavón will), although she will supervise and accompany the process.
“We are very hopeful, because this will allow us to increase the size of the women’s teams. They will always be the best, beyond the height, but we are putting emphasis on it because we believe that there is the secret to raising the centimeters in some positions, “completed Martínez, who commented on what the training will focus on during those 12 days in the CeNARD. “We will work double shifts and see how they hold the load. It is also important to train them. We will have nutrition talks and physiotherapists will work on injury prevention, together with the entire medical team. We want to create that culture of physical care. Of course, afterwards each one has to sustain that, but it is a good age to create those habits “, Held.
Before making the list official, the DT elaborated on the idea of the game that he will seek to capture with this team. “We want to impose a high pace. It is the same game idea that we had with the U18s and the older ones, although in this category it will cost us a little more, but we must try to internalize it from the time they are little. I clarify that when I say high rhythm I do not mean to shoot fast, because they are different things. I’m talking about a dynamic game, with a lot of collective participation and passing. Pick up the pace of the team in general. That is what we are focused on “Gregorio explained.
