Although several national team players have decided to come today to get it over with earlier.
Everything, as always, remains the same; the guys go through the same specialists and examinations as always; this event is automated, and the algorithm of actions has been practiced for years. I see everyone has arrived in good spirits, in a great mood, and they eagerly undergo the medical check-up. Luckily, as of now, no one has any health problems. Only minor nuances may appear in the analyses after vacations if someone has broken their diet, but these small issues usually disappear once they resume training.
I noticed that this time the guys showed remarkable organization: earlier, they needed assistance and to be directed to various offices, but today they handled everything themselves, creating no queues; they were hardly seen in the corridors (smiling).
If necessary, we can conduct additional examinations at the base either now or when we return after the training camps. In general, we monitor the condition of all players in turn throughout the year and during training camps in particular. These are test examinations that help us see in what functional state the players are. The information is transmitted to the coaching staff, which can make certain adjustments based on the results if necessary," Zhuchka said.
