That's a lot of running and I'm excited for our team (especially now that we have Butch). But let's not act like teams have never worked hard over the last few years. They run and lift a ton every year.
The fact that we aren't hearing personal drama with it is more a sign of team unity and buy in. Now that's exciting!
I think the point is that they are WILLINGLY doing it not being forced to do it. It shows that there is leadership amongst the team - not just the coaches.
This dude gets it. Leadership is the #1 thing this program has lacked the past few years IMO. Hell for the last 3 years our coach wasn't even looked to for leadership...Dooley was weak as water.
