Training for half marathon Roosendaal: 'The knowledge of the body lays the foundation'
Marcel Cas was electrician, professional footballer, recovery trainer at Feyenoord and is now a personal trainer that makes people run faster in the Roversrun and Half Marathon of Roosendaal.

As a footballer at RBC, Notts County and FC Den Bosch, Marcel Cas (45) was mainly a trotter, he admits equitably. ,, I liked to walk. Also outside the field. "Cas still looks like the prototype of the fit, not to be broken athlete.

However, under his skin, the insidious danger of a hernia lurks. ,, That is also the reason that I have become interested in the human body. Mine is to hell, but I just want to continue exercising. The only way to achieve that is to train in the right way. By doing my exercises faithfully every day, I stay fit. "

Patchwork
The Cas born and raised in Breda came from school as an electrician. ,, I also worked as a electrician for a while. "In combination with the training at RBC, that is.

When the first injuries came, Cas was already interested in the lay-out work of physiotherapists and sports masseurs. ,, Because of that hernia I really started working on it. I went to study. First sports massage, taping, rehabilitation techniques, physiotherapy; until I got to work at Axis. From there I went to RKC. "

Recovery trainer
Cas stood out with Leo Beenhakker. He got him to Feyenoord, to work there as a recovery trainer. ,, They wanted someone there who knew what it was to be a professional footballer. "

Since April of this year, Cas has been working at Dynamico, which among other things monitors the fitness of the players of NAC. Last week he went to work with Chiro Ntoko. The defender turned out to be quite sensitive to injury in recent years. Typically a job for Cas to get and keep such a player fit.

Injury-free
"I do not care if I work with top athletes or recreationists," he says about his work as a personal trainer, whether he is working with ladies who want to lose weight right away, with amateur athletes or pros, are the starting point. is always the same: ,, You strive for perfection, but the most important thing is that someone remains injury-free. "

He himself claims to be the best proof of the effectiveness of his approach. "In England I trained my body so well, that I have not been injured once." He also learned that too much training can be disastrous. "In the Netherlands this happens quite often. because they play more, if you play you are more focused and the chance of injuries is smaller. "

According to him, holidaymakers should be more careful with what they do. "Improving is in people," says Cas. "The biggest mistake that is made with this is a lack of knowledge, whether it's about walking faster, wanting to walk longer, getting stronger or losing weight."

Responsible
He establishes that people increasingly use a personal trainer to ensure that this process runs responsibly.

In that respect, the work of an electrician and a personal trainer ultimately does not differ greatly: "I notice that our work has become much more accessible. People who want to achieve a goal are now prepared to pay for it. Of course they also have to be prepared to train twice a week. To be consequent. Otherwise it does not make sense. "

Cas on his day was real class.

He always gave 100%, yet some of the passing he did - along with his finishing really made it a joy to watch. It's interesting to see what he's done since retiring and I wasn't aware he had much issues with injuries but at least he learned a skill from it.

i know who he is and i thought he was a good player, a bit before i started following notts tho..

Well spotted! I liked Cas - fast, powerful and seemed to love taking players on. No little skill either.

In other ex-Notts players news (and because I can't be bothered to open a new thread), Balint Bajner played 13 games for Borussia Dortmund II last season (11 of which were as a substitute), scoring one goal. The party hasn't really got started for him yet.

My family have mentioned how good Marcel Cas could be.

But my Uncle seems to think he played a lot like Darren Caskey I think he said, both players I don't really remember TBH.

Marcel Cas used to epic on Championship Manager! I think he was before I got into Notts though, I mean I was too young to remember.
