The Greater Western Sydney GIANTS headed East on the weekend for a tough conditioning session on the Kernell sand dunes in Cronulla.
Some of the GIANTS newest recruits faced an exhausting training run as they battled the enormous sand dunes for the first time with their teammates.
Head of Sports Science John Quinn was thrilled with the squad’s commitment on the sand dunes and said that the session was a great opportunity to build camaraderie in the playing group.
“Today’s session was really good. I was really impressed with our young players who haven’t done this sort of training before… They showed terrific heart and terrific effort.
“It’s low impact training, so we can get a bit of work in to the guys that can’t have too much impact on their legs at the moment.
“It’s also a high aerobic session but they’re getting a lot of lactic so they need to work through that.
“Next year there will be massive challenges for the GIANTS. These sort of sessions allow us to keep reinforcing some of our key messages to the playing group like ‘there is no finish line’ and ‘just give everything that you’ve got to it’.
“If they do that you can’t ask for anything more.”
