KNOXVILLE -- The Tennessee women’s basketball team recently completed a rigorous, two-day military-style workout that tested each player’s physical, emotional and mental toughness. The goal: to develop leadership and cohesiveness through shared adversity.
A company called “The Program” put the Lady Vols through the rigors of its Judgment Day workout on Oct. 5 and 6. Day one consisted of various physical challenges taking place on the indoor football field at the Neyland-Thompson Sports Center. Day two, which began at 5 a.m., included an intense set of water-based challenges held in the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatics Center.
