Adrián González Matchday-1 Press Conference | Week 26 at Utah Royals | 11.01.25

Head Coach Adrián González discusses how the team utilized the international break, confirming that while about half the team was away, the players who remained at the facility were able to train deeply and focus on specific details. González states this smaller group allowed the staff to go "really, really deep" into specific training points, a process he calls "great". The coach confirms that the international players have returned "fatigue" due to heavy travel and significant minutes, but that the team is ready to manage the player load for the final regular-season game. He reiterates the club's aim to help young players develop, praising the growth of players like Courtney Brown, Hal Hershfelt, and Heather Stainbrook, and confirming that all players are now "ready to compete" in different positions.
