First camp ends today in Canada
By Franklin Wilson
Conscious of the enormous but not insurmountable task ahead of them, the Lady Jags and Technical staff have endeavored to pull out all the stops and to do what is necessary in order to achieve even higher
heights for Guyana.
Being Guyana’s most successful football team, male or female is just not enough for the committed and dedicated bunch of players who will end their first camp 2016 as they prepare
for the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Tournament which will take place in the USA, Houston Texas from February 10 – 21, next.
The camp which commenced on January 1st fully funded by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) will end today and was focused on the players striving towards adopting lifestyle changes with regards to fitness, nutrition, health, working with a personal fitness coach, believing in the system of play and game tactics that the Technical Staff is promoting.
A total of 21 players attended camp including the latest addition to the programme, Cameo Hazlewood.
GFF Technical Director Claude Bolton who is in Canada working along with Head Coach Mark Rodrigues and staff, shared his thoughts on the Lady Jags’ chances of qualifying:
“Our Short term goal is game to game planning for each specific opponent. Right now it’s our opening game against one of the top ranked countries in the world who have rightfully earned their status.
Our medium range goal is to get to the semi finals and long term goal, to win that semi final game as that would qualify us for Rio. These are very ambitious goals as we will be playing against very good teams, but we have worked hard and are doing our best with what limited resources we have at our disposal.
The players have all committed to a complete lifestyle change for the next 8 weeks to assist in increasing our chances of success. They truly are an amazing bunch of ladies who completely embrace the program and what it has done and means to football development in Guyana.”
Guyana has been drawn in Group B which includes neighboring Trinidad and Tobago, Canada and Guatemala while the world leading USA is in Group A along with Mexico, Puerto Rico and Costa Rica.
The Lady Jags will oppose Canada in their opening match, the feature game on February 11 with the opening clash between Guatemala and Trinidad and Tobago at the BBVA Campus Stadium. Competition will however open the day before, February 10 at the Toyota Stadium where Puerto Rico face Mexico and the USA oppose Costa Rica.
The Lady Jags are scheduled to reassemble on February 6 in Huston, Texas.
