Day Six - Monday - started ominously with the weather forecasting thunder storms from 11am, whilst the early morning sky tended to back that theory.
An early breakfast was taken prior to our transfer to the IMG complex where the squad went through prep before taking to the field of play and the training session consisting of 15 minutes of speed work, and 75 minutes of football.
The squad managed to get a very good hard working shift in though before the IMG klaxons sounded to warn teams who were still out on the field of play to return as the storm was within two to seven miles away.
The storm swirled around with lightning flashing all around although on this occasion the rain didn't materialise. However the players advisedly returned to the dressing rooms for a short analysis session.
Even that is a sample of the level of quality and meticulous detail that goes into these training camps that when changes have to be made at the last minute, the training, either physical or mental continues seamlessly.
A decision was then made to go directly to the gym where the conditioning team worked through a 90 minute session on the players lower limb strength whilst the medical team gave players a massage as and when required.
After a late lunch back at the golf club it was a return to the hotel and the obligatory short session in the pool.
The players then had a period of rest before snacks at 4.45pm then 45 minutes later the coach was waiting to take us to Siesta Beach for beach volleyball.
Now Siesta Beach is listed as the number one beach in the USA and on arrival it was no wonder as the sand, is not actually sand but pure white 99 per cent crystal.
The beach seemingly stretches for miles with "bay watch" towers dotted along the shore.
Given we arrived just before six o'clock, the beach was still quite heavily populated as it was yet another beautiful Floridian evening.
Such is the depth of the beach, there was probably 50 yards or so between where the beach volleyball nets were set up and sun worshippers.
Those players and staff who chose to play were split up into six teams of four namely: Team Bondi, Team Long Beach, Team Copacabana, Team Pensacola, Team Waikiki and Team Margate.
Each team played each other with the top two performing teams progressing to the Grand Final.
On completion of the 15 games, one team, Team Pensacola (Jake Reeves, Alan McCormack, Mark Warburton and Simon Royce) had won four whilst three teams had tied on three victories.
Points difference came into play with Team Long Beach (Moses Odubajo, Jake Bidwell, Tom Perryman and Richard Clark) edging out Team Copacabana and Team Margate.
The quality of the play was excellent throughout (no surprise given their level of fitness) and would not have been out of place at any official beach volleyball tournament.
The final lived up to the levels set and went right to the wire with Team Long Beach recovering from an early deficit to take the main spoils 21-19.
The only team unable to pick up a single victory was Team Waikiki who were represented by Kevin O'Connor, David Button, Neil Greig and David Weir.
For the record the other teams were Team Margate (Richard Lee, Raphael Calvet, Luke Stopforth, Matt Springham) three wins, Team Copacabana (Marcos Tebar, Tony Craig, Adam Forshaw, James Purdue) three wins, and Team Team Bondi (Toumani, Harlee Dean, Bob Oteng, Neil McIlhargey) two wins.
On completion of the competition it was back to the hotel for dinner and the result of the Brentford FC X Factor.
Of the three Finalists, Richard Clark came third, Moses was runner up (and you could see the relief on both their faces as I announced that they hadn't won), whilst Matt Springham was declared the outright winner.
As a result he had to chat up a broomstick, which he did impeccably.
And so to bed.
