Olowookere speaking in a chat with www.brila.net revealed that the only challenge he had remains having the team together in group which wouldn’t have been possible because of the Covid-19 pandemic but sure the team wouldn’t be so behind in terms of phiscal fitness when they resume ahead of their final FIFA U17 world cup qualifier against West African rival Ghana.
“As a coach when situations comes up like this, you have to shift the post and device new method of keeping our players physically fit.
So we evolved in our coaching method by sending messages to them through our social media group on whatsapp on the kind of exercise to do to ensure their physical fitness.
Individually they train on their own and we monitor them. The only challenge is to have them train as a group now when we resume.”
