Friday marked another milestone for Billy Napier as he attempts to rebuild the Gators into a championship contender. He divides the calendar into eight phases, and phase two began on Friday.
The second phase is known as the “Identity” phase and will consist of 15 rigorous strength and conditioning workouts and some position meetings over the next month. Phase three, known to the rest of the world as spring practice, will begin on March 15.
Napier believes that the “Identity” phase is a crucial period for his team. Since he took the UF job in late November, much of his time has been devoted toward recruiting and hiring a large staff.
