Pre season with the Bombers started last week on the BomberLand site. Fitness coach John Quinn is providing a weekly training program - one for juniors (12-18 year olds) and one for seniors (18 plus)- to help people get into shape for the 2002 footy season. The Essendon boys are well into training and building on their fitness and strength levels - why not join them and start training today. Pre season with the Bombers can be found on the front page of the BomberLand site. Login in now and start getting into shape for the forthcoming football season.

I hope that you found the first week of the program pretty easy to follow and you are now under way with your fitness program for the 2002 Season. This week I am off to the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra with all of the players. Whilst we are there we will be working in with some of the best coaches and fitness staff in the country. In many cases I am sure that the AIS staff will be saying much the same as the boy’s have been hearing from us here at Essendon. But it is amazing what a different face and a change in environment can do. If you find that you are getting a bit stale with your weekly program, try changing the venue or link up with some different training partners.

All the best over the next week with your program. I look forward to your comments.
