Just Exactly Where is the 'Goldilocks Zone.'

[whitelion]

I see endless debate on players who aren't 'match fit' and need competitive games to up their fitness levels yet are not deemed fit enough to start.

I see more endless debate on players who are tired through playing at most two matches in a seven day period and need to be 'rested'.

So just exactly where is the 'Goldilocks Zone' where players play at their optimum performance?

'Goldilocks Zone'

Fascinating answer when Googled,it is something to do with our (Earth's) distance from the Sun...

With regards the question,we & they have 11 games to try to find it........

It's the habitable zone for life of an earthlike-planet which scientists are attempting to find.

My analogy to this comparing it with footballers is basically to demonstrate how delicate and fine is the balance between fitness and tiredness.

I don't suppose this month is going to be of much use in finding out for some..for others they will have no excuse when we enter April.

Not too hot, not too cold - like the porridge.

I remember having discussions about this with an old colleague of mine (now long retired) who was sick of hearing about players who struggled to play at most twice a week despite having at their disposal the very best in healthcare, modern dietary and fitness techniques, etc. As a young man this guy used to play twice per WEEKEND (OK amateur stuff) but never thought of crying off. Apart from anything else, he'd have lost his place in the team. And going back in the pro game to the days of the maximum wage cap, men would literally work in a coalmine in the morning before turning out for top flight teams in the afternoon. Different times and culture, I know, but it makes you think......
