The anticipation is growing as we get closer to Florida and the end of 5 a.m. practices. Practice has been going well, and we all have been working hard towards our first game on March 9th against Centre College. This will kick off our journey to the HCAC Tournament. We all love being in the field house. We are able to do team defenses and we are able to practice plays. Everyone’s intensity is high and attitudes are great throughout practices.
This past Friday was the official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the George M. Smart Athletic Center. The official opening of “The George” was a big event because all of the sports teams attended. We are happy to have a new place to practice during the season, even if this means running endless miles on the new track. This past weekend we hosted our first official Prospect Camp. This camp was set up for future teammates to work with the Defiance College team and with our coaching staff. Overall, the camp went very well and we had a lot of fun meeting and working with our potential teammates.
This Wednesday SAAC hosted a Student-Athlete Wellness Night. At this event, a motivational speaker came to discuss the importance in Division III Athletics and mental toughness. Other offerings of the event were massages, Zumba and Yoga. They also provided healthy food to eat. We are looking forward to the season starting and the warm Florida weather!
