Pre-season testing of Essendon players began today at the State Netball Centre in Melbourne.
Bomber.tv caught up with reigning Crichton Medalist, David Hille, who said that the first lot of two-days of testing was tough.
Hille said that he relaxed for the first few weeks after the season but has been doing weights, swimming, biking, running and even surfing to stay fit and be ready for pre-season.
“We did some testing similar to a beep test this morning, we’ll do a beep test tomorrow and we have some other testing this afternoon so it’s pretty full on,” he said.
The team will hold its first official pre-season training session on Friday at La Trobe University.
The training will be a skills session while the injured players will undergo rehabilitation and conditioning session.
The Bombers will have approximately 14 training sessions per week during the pre-season focusing on skills, fitness, conditioning and game learning.
