Congratulations, Akil 👏
Our CORE X group came together for their latest camp, focused on preparing for the demands of the season run-in.
Through physical and technical work, the group reflected on performances, recognised progress and reinforced the levels needed heading into the final stages of the campaign.
A group pushing each other forward at every step 💪
