1st Day of Training

All the players reported to the academy today to get tested on fitness. The academy is a great facility they have made in iran, which I had the pleasure to go to since my cousin is part of the tennis national team. This facility is only for national team players and it is very advanced with all the newest equipment. Parviz Komasi, who is the team trainer was the man in charge today. He tested everyone and after all the testing, they asked him who were the fittest players and he said that Kaebi and Teymourian were by far the fittest. This was no suprise to me as Kaebi is supposedly one of the fastest soccer players ever and Teymourian can run for ever without stopping. It was said that even though karimi looks very fit and ready, he is a little overweitght and needs to work on it to get his burst of speed he has to get by defenders.
