Walsall Football Club defender Ben Purkiss today sang the praises of Physio Jon Whitney, who along with his role in the medical department, is responsible for the players' strength and conditioning regimes along with several other aspects of their training schedule.Speaking to Saddlers.co.uk, Ben said: “Whitters’ is always at the forefront of what’s going on in the world of strength and conditioning. He does an awful lot of research and is always coming up with new ideas to keep things interesting and current.
“I feel that I have responded well to the programmes that he has adopted for me in the past and it’s a similar story this time around. The work that we do now helps us come back with high fitness levels at the start of pre-season. It was really noticeable last year and stands us in good stead.
“Of course, it’s about being disciplined and carrying out the work off your own bat, but the lads realise the benefits.”
