Pre-season is well under way and the boys are all coping with new blisters, roasting temperatures, thick humidity and the nuances that come from living in new surroundings. In the 4 short days we've spent together the team has gone from a group of 40 individual players from all over the U.S. and 3 different continents to a closely knit family. Every player has exceeded our expectations and we very much look forward to the season ahead. This morning we had the boys run 30% Liverpool. For those who have done it before you feel their pain. For those who haven't, you have no idea! Tomorrow we run the Lagoon Run, a 2-mile timed run through campus that determines who gets to be in the Breakfast Club. The journey has just begun and it's only about to get better.
