This concept has come up before. The same answer l gave then applies. It is their money and they are the ones to decide if it is a waste or not. Clearly, this trip is not about the cost, it is about building rapport with teammates as much as it is about training at altitude. There is a mental dimension that canāt be duplicated running upstairs and goes far beyond The Grampians or places similar.

I was joking. I donāt actually think they should just do Coogee stairs.

Good on the players for doing this. I think it shows that they want to be successful and are doing whatever they can to achieve it.

Where is all the articles coming from regarding Arizona?Is it being driven by the club, the players, or just the media looking for headlines while itās quiet?
If itās being pushed by the club (which they have done in the past, to build hype and drive membership sales), Iāll be pretty disappointed.
Itās time to quietly get to work, and stop pumping up our own tires for the upcoming season.
But it could be just the media running with it themselvesā¦ā¦ which is just annoying.

yep - Iād also prefer us to be all business and just keep the media release stuff factual - no need for embellishments.
As for the boys going to Arizona, good on them. At times, getting away from your workplace can be a positive. Besides the physical effects of high altitude training, there are the psychological benefits in saying you were proactive in making yourself better. Doing it as a group should strengthen the bonds and drive amongst the boys.

Baffles me that anyone would question this, theyāre in their 20s, travelling is awesome and theyāre training. Makes perfect sense and good on them for cracking in pre-pre season.

High altitude benefits have a limited time span - You need to do it for 3 week+ and then you will get a benefir for 4 or 6 weeks - It could help with their pre=season training up to XMAS and that will be it. I assume they must be training at Flagstaff which has an altitude of 2100 metres.
Is Percy Cerutty still running athletes up and down the Portsea sand dunes?
