of workload, so much so that I invited them to come prepared an explicitly, but I'm sure each of them already know the importance of this period of preparation for the World Cup. After all, Catania time is now.”

Only time will tell if Coach Cuomo manages to instill some confidence in his team and gets them ready for some tough international fencing competition.
