The off-season is a crucial time for footy players. They use this time to rest and recover from the previous season, but they also continue to train and work hard to maintain their high level of fitness. Players also take this time to coach and help out with elite summer training programs for young upcoming players.
During the off-season, footy players focus on both resting and training. Rest is important for players to allow their bodies to recover from the previous season. However, players cannot rest for too long as they need to maintain their high level of fitness. As a result, players continue to train during the off-season, although at a lower intensity than during the regular season.
Players also use the off-season to coach and help out with elite summer training programs for young upcoming players. This helps them stay involved in the game and give back to the community.
