GB Relaxed and Ready for Latvian Test

GB Assistant coach Vigdis Holmeset.

The Four Nations blog caught up with Great Britain Assistant Coach Vigdis Holmset at their early training session this morning which even included a small-sided football match.

“We have been training every day for six days now, so the session this morning was really just a motivational warm-up.

“The coaching team got involved with a game of football, which normally sees the older members of the squad play the younger members. Normally the older members win, but today the younger players lost, so we are angry!

“We looked at the DVDs of the match yesterday as a coaching team and then followed it up at a team meeting with our players. Looking back at the game yesterday I am very happy; we should have scored more goals, but it is easier to work on changing our shooting than the way the team plays.

"We won’t know about the Latvia match until it starts, but we are ready. We know we can play very well and we are well prepared.

“The whole squad were at the Latvia match yesterday watching - but it is not the same to watch as it is to stand in front of them!”
