This Thursday (24), some members of the technical committees of the youth categories carried out a series of exercises led by Exos Consultant Michael Minthorne, at CEP FLA. Physical trainers, goalkeeper coaches, physiotherapists, doctors and interns participated. Everything is part of the project to create a common line of work from the base to the professional level. 

The consultant had already given two lectures to the participants, and now it was his turn to demonstrate his teachings in practice. Further meetings will take place regularly through the end of the year. Today's activity served to introduce functional exercise methods that can be implemented, as well as some new developments. 

"These are important guidelines because we can apply them in our daily lives. I've already started applying some of them in training, and the athletes' feedback has been positive. Michael addressed specific issues in the back and upper limbs, areas goalkeepers use a lot. I can apply everything in a practical way in my work. These techniques help, among other things, improve their posture," said José Jober, goalkeeping coach for the U-17 team.
