are still learning all the possibilities that the brand-new venue offers all the employees who have been using the facilities for the past few weeks emphasize that the Academy made a big step forward but the new home of Lech Poznań Academy was officially opened and within the next 24 hours or so the facilities were already filled with youth players The strategic innovation on the club's 100th anniversary was meant to reinforce Lech’s position as the leader in terms of youth player training and improve daily operations Everybody already knows that Lech is the first Polish club to own such innovative skills.lab simulator But what it’s like to use the facilities on a daily basis we – coaches - appreciate even the smallest things a comfortable office with all the necessary devices makes our job much easier We can invite a player and analyze their performance with them using a projector – it’s time efficient and takes just a few clicks We have access to all the key equipment without leaving our office and the special layout itself benefits the communication between our staff members,” explained Artur Węska The coach also highlighted those technological innovations are crucial and enable the staff to save time it’s important to gradually increase awareness and knowledge of all the possibilities at hand but also to the equipment designated for player recovery the boys are exposed to a lot of new stimuli and need time to process it all It also applies to us – I have only recently learned about the capabilities offered by the equipment in the physiotherapy office and the gym especially in the upcoming transition period during which when the training sessions intensify and the players compete on artificial turf,” explained the coach who has been working at Lech’s Academy for two years now the coaches didn’t have all the equipment at their disposal and had to rely on different sources which made it hard to manage training schedules Now that the facilities are fully equipped “The training plan of each and every player is fully dependent on us the hotel whose services we have been using for a while it’s an increased comfort because we can use the time we have more efficiently You can see that for the players themselves moving to a new facility has also been a big experience,” said Jędrzej Łągiewka “We are constantly in the process of learning and exploring the possibilities of the Research and Development Centre of the highest possible standard and fully functional is we all tell ourselves that none of us will have any more excuses The changes are therefore a huge step forward for the entire academy but they also entail increased requirements and expectations that we will set for ourselves,” emphasizes Rafał Ulatowski We use cookies that
