A total of 16 participants took part in the session, which was aimed at First Team Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, and Fitness Coaches. The lecture was led by FSAM Head of Department, Firdaus Maasar, and covered topics related to both match data and training considerations.

The first part of the session, SPL Physical Data (GPS) Review, looked at match parameters for SPL teams and selected players. It also provided comparisons between SPL performance data and that of regional teams to offer context and potential areas for development.

The second part of the session focused on Managing Performance during Ramadan, discussing how fasting might affect players physically and how training sessions could be adjusted to reduce injury risk. Areas such as training timing and load management were also discussed.

Club staff were encouraged to share their experiences and ask questions about their current approaches, allowing for open discussion and exchange of ideas.
