Diary from Belek: Day 1 at the Training Camp

Having successfully completed the performance tests at the start of their preparations, the LASK professionals boarded their flight on Tuesday afternoon, heading to Belek, where they will set up camp until January 17th. A highly intensive training camp awaits them, which we will be following daily in the form of a diary.

Day 1

While winter was showing off its cold side back home, the LASK professionals defied the local weather conditions and made a quick departure towards Southeastern Europe. In high spirits and full of energy, the group, consisting of 28 players, coaching staff, team management, medical personnel, and other staff members, set off on their journey to Turkey. After accounting for the time difference, they checked into the Maxx Royal Resort around 8:30 PM. "The trip went smoothly, and we’ve arrived safely. Now, we’re heading to dinner, and then it’s off to bed so we’re ready for tomorrow," said goalkeeper Tobias Lawal, preparing for an intense time ahead.

And rightfully so, because although pleasant temperatures await the athletes, the days will not be relaxing. Instead, hard work on and off the pitch tops the to-do list for the Linzers, who are looking to lay the foundation for a successful spring season in Belek. "In the training camp, we have a lot of time to train. We want to use this time well to be as prepared as possible for the spring season," stated our number one, before heading off to well-earned rest.
