Pre-season may still be a couple a couple weeks away, but it’s never really too early to get a head start on a new season. And that’s exactly what the Union are doing as several players have been reporting for optional workout sessions at the club’s training facilities throughout the month of December.

Director of Performance Garrison Draper is the mastermind behind these sessions, making sure the guys are balancing efforts to get enough rest and downtime, while also putting their bodies in the best position to succeed come January.

“A lot of the training we’re doing right now is stuff they don’t get to do during the season,” Draper explained.
