There are 24 hours in a day. Joni Taylor will get all she can out of each second of the 18 hours she’s awake for.
During basketball season, her day begins at 4 a.m. That’s when she wakes up to prepare for a 5 a.m. workout at one of the local Orangetheory Fitness locations in Athens.
The early-morning exercise helps set her tone for the day. When it’s not a game day, Taylor will then drive to work to lead her team through a 7:30 a.m. practice. When that’s done, she continues her game preparation until 3 or 4 p.
