Pamzo laments lack of team training
Gor Mahia assistant coach Sammy “Pamzo” Omollo has said a virtual training programme which they initiated for the playing unit after the ban on sports is not enough to accomplish their plans.
According to the former Posta Rangers handler, training as a unit is much better as football is a team sport.
Gor developed an app that allows the technical bench to monitor the playing unit’s individual sessions from the programme moving forward.
“The players are supposed to run at least five kilometres daily early in the morning and thereafter go to the gymnasium.
“The gym sessions must be recorded via our new app and this helps us know who is doing what,” said Omollo.
The former Kenyan international says since the suspension of sports is indefinite, anything can happen and they have to be ready when called upon, noting that online training does not offer much value as physical training.
“When players are together, it is easier to train them other than the current situation in the country that has put us in a mess.
We need our boys back together so that we can strategise on how to approach the remainder of the season.
In the meantime, Omollo says the players are in low spirits as they are not getting enough of what is required.
“Some players who had form issues had started picking up. With the current situation, I think it’s a big setback since we may need to go back to what we had already done to keep players in shape.
He added: “We are just longing for the big announcement of sports resumption so that we can continue from where we left.”
