That's children who are 6 to 12 years old. I doubt our training under Bruce was even at that level. Shuttle runs are short-interval sprints, so highly relevant to football. Beep test is part of PE over here too, at least it used to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephant Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I hope he ends up being our Diego Simeone. What Iike about Howe is that he has shown commitment on his previous job. He’s all in and all commited and that’s what we need right now. Managers like Mourinho, Ancelotti, Conte and even Emery are always one call away from likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Obviously they are at this moment higher calibre managers, but right now we need a manager that is going to be committed at seeing this through and taking us to the next level. And as I said earlier, I hope Howe can grow with us to be next level manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 All these bleep test flashbacks in here makes me quite thankful. I know they did it at my school but I was always ushered in to the group that didn't do it. Some positives to being a fat little lump of shit, I guess.

Dan Gleebals Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Great statement from him on day one. First in, last out and he clearly has a plan, and has got straight down to it. The thing that I like, is that he has had some proper time out, and he is clearly not the type that would have been sat onbthe beach. He will have used that time well, learning and developing his ideas, and learning from the past. It is clear his is going to galvanise the fans with his work ethic, and hopefully the players too. Some will not be able to handle it, but thats good. Time for serious change and I am pretty confident he can deliver it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Two things stuck out with me from that training vid. First,Eddie is doing both the talking and running and his assistants are closely watching all the players, either during the talks or while playing. Could be they're the ones who'll be reporting to Eddie whick players leans on posts, those who don't run or those who gassed out easily. If this was a Bruce session, no one would give a fuck. Bruce would be busy playing his 'balls' and the other Steves joking around with the players. Second, ASM better get his act together. I don't know whether his it's his style or what but his body language in that vid was he couldn't be arsed. He's been shit and lashing out frustrated in matches ever since his step-da Brucey left. Now that we have a decent coach who can get the best out players and money to spend in January, if ASM isn't happy, he can fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up on that too, but I don't think it's something you actually need to train out of him. Let's see what he's like when he's in his best position and back in form.

But he has been shit and lashing out at tram mates in the past few games post-Bruce though. Hope he is happy now that we have a coach in. A proper one too.

I don’t know if anyone else has repeated this feat, since I packed in teaching PE in 2012, but before that only 3 people had successfully reached all 20 levels……David Beckham, Seb Coe and some Kenyan runner I can’t remember……sounds easy to do but if you try it yourself it’s bloody exhausting….any kid reaching past level 10 was actually doing very well…..for those of you who managed to avoid this nice little warm up…..after completion, at whatever level you had to stop at, there were charts which could be used to work out exactly how much oxygen you were converting into energy……obviously the higher the percentage the more likely you were able to perform exercise at a higher level.

Collage Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Do you remember the old Swedish clogger Håkan Mild? He aced the beep test apparently. You always heard about that if you played football at any level in Sweden in the 90’s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Too old for bleep tests, good old normal shuttle runs for us and a real killer where you by sprinting the width of pitch corner to corner then walk the 3 other sides then sprint 2 sides walk 2 and so on until you sprinted all 4 sides. Absolute killer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
