Most of the components we have discussed in previous chapters can, in some form, be trained during match preparation week. Be sure, though, to keep in mind your need and time availability. Heavy training and extra workouts should be replaced by brief sessions designed to heighten and stimulate performance. If you have one match in a 7-day period, the day leading up to the match should be arranged to support match readiness on the scheduled day. Resistance training and conditioning should occur earlier in the week, and drills that heighten the nervous system such as agility and acceleration drills should be performed on the day just prior to game day. Table 10.1 shows a sample training plan for this particular schedule (this reflects only training aspects and not actual practice sessions). Details of this plan are given in the sidebar starting on the following page.
