Everyone thinks that the season started all the way back on February 1. What most folks don’t realize is that a lot of work happens before our official training starts. Guys, including myself, began to shuffle into the area and attend voluntary workouts in mid-January. I believe that early bonding helped the group for the season ahead, both physically by being fitter but also mentally in a sense that we had to do things better than the previous season. After seeing how hard everyone had worked for the nearly 10 weeks in the gym, I was excited to start the season and felt we were in a strong position with everyone eager to impress.
