AS part of a bold drive to continually improve their performance and to sharpen their form ahead of the upcoming T20 Champions League in September, the Sunfoil Dolphins have entered into a collaboration with Prime Human Performance Institute to handle their players conditioning.
Based at the Moses Mabhida Stadium Prime HPI offers the KwaZulu-Natal cricket franchise a one-stop-shop with cutting edge technology and a full range of expertise on site to get their players into top shape and handle any niggles or injuries.
“It forms part of our plan to be world class,” said Sunfoil Dolphins CEO Jesse Chellan. “We aim to be the fittest, strongest and most enduring team, and to offer our players the best opportunity to recover from any injuries.”
“To do that we need to make use of the best facilities and expertise, and we are very fortunate to that on our doorstep at Prime Human Performance Institute,” Chellan added.
The Dolphins earned a berth in the Champions League in India after winning the domestic RamSlam T20 league.
Dolphins skipper Morne van Wyk said the work the team are doing will help their readiness not only for the Champions League but also for the domestic season as well.
“Often you’ll go into a season with a good base and good form but that wears off after a while. Now though, after all the hard work we’ve been putting in, I’m sure we’ll go into the new season with a really great base to build on,” Van Wyk said.
For the team of experts at Prime HPI, the opportunity to work with the Sunfoil Dolphins represents an exciting opportunity.
“This is the first time that the Dolphins have out-sourced the strength and conditioning and we’re very excited to be involved with them for the season,” said biokineticist and strength and conditioning coach Gavin Muir.
