The analysis of women’s basketball and the objectives for this season – The most important news from Corrientes

The calendar year is just beginning, but the women’s basketball has already put itself first, or rather it has not stopped its march. And it is that in this 2023 the action of the Women’s League will continue, the Formatives will have competition and the Major will face enormous challenges where the AmeriCup, Pan American Games and in case of qualifying Pre-Olympic Window stand out. To do this, commitment and planning must lead on the same demanding route to which Gregorio Martínez and the top-level staff he leads have accustomed us, making the extraordinary something habitual, like that month-long preparation in Buenos Aires in July 2022 that culminated in the South American Subchampionship in San Luis.
«We are starting with a camp of 14 girls and 14 boys, from 14 to 17 years old, all great projects that are not currently participating in the League. With Mariano Marcos as Training coordinator for both branches, it is the first time that this mixed concentration has been held at Cenard, with more than 40 days of intensive training and the central idea of ​​transmitting habits of professional athletes”, the head coach tells us. of women’s teams.
Our young representatives come from playing at the highest level, and nothing is by chance: the campuses, concentrations, and the presence of great coaches, physical trainers, and experts from different areas of the sport contribute strongly. «I have great expectations in the new litters, there is a greater size and better habits that come from early learning. The pdfs are essential to get in touch, train and follow players, as well as interact with the different federations. Before, 18-year-old girls just decided to focus on their career, while today at 14 they already have a program of weights, nutrition and much more. Probably, in the medium term, results will begin to be seen in physical context and, consequently, in level, “says Martínez.
«Our macro objective is the integral development of the feminine, expanding its base and continuing with the daily work to also progress in quality. In the selected ones, we look for each litter to qualify for their World Cup, which guarantees competition every year and to be able to measure themselves against North American and European powers, something always positive”, indicates Gregorio. At the same time, he highlights the value of equity in our basketball: «Today we enjoy the same working conditions as the men’s, the projects are very similar and the coaches work with both branches in each training session. This reflects the consideration and equality that the feminine reached this last time in this management.

TRAINING

Regarding Training, the next competitions will be the Fiba Americas U16 in June, the U19 World Cup in Spain in July and the South American U17 with a date to be confirmed. While for the senior team the maximum goal is clear, and this is stated by their DT: «We remain hopeful in pursuing the Olympic dream of Paris 2024, and we will embrace it until the last chance. The AmeriCup in July will grant two direct places, where clearly the United States and Canada are one step above the rest, but being third or fourth we could enter a repechage window, and for that we will prepare.
Although our emblems participate in the best leagues in the world, one of the keys to the national cast is the mix of experience and youth that is supported by the constant development of the Women’s League, which restarted last weekend and counts with names like Agustina García (Institute), Sofía Wolf (Berazategui), Camila Suárez, Luciana Delabarba, Candela Gentinetta and Nicole Tapari (Works), all part of the shortlist that was seconds away from winning the Gold at La Pedrera.
In this regard, Gregorio Martínez says: «Since the pandemic, where we kept playing, there have been important advances. This season there is growth, incorporating teams to get 12 clubs to compete for six consecutive months. I think that the League will continue to improve and will be increasingly attractive, especially if we could have players who are now in a second or third level from abroad, something for which we are taking the first steps.
