The Stanford Cardinal are back on the football field in just over two weeks. In an unprecedented season and offseason full of trials and tribulations, the team is back practicing in what could be considered their training camp for the 2020 football campaign.
However, unlike normal training camps, the Cardinal student-athletes are just that, students first. Normal training camps don’t see the student-athletes in classes at the same time, thus allowing for much more freedom of workout timeframes, film sessions, on-field practices, etc.
With classes in session while attempting to get to a place to be ready to play a football game in two and a half weeks, coupled with daily testing for Covid-19, classwork and virtual class attendance, this is absolutely one of the most trying ‘preseasons’ for these Stanford athletes.
