Practice, Meeting, and more Practice!

Today is the third day in a row that the Utes have participated in "2-a-days"....one practice in the morning and another in the evening. The schedule is difficult but necessary; the team's sharpness and fitness must be perfected and there are several new players... and only 2 weeks until game time! This morning's session continued to be centered around the theme of team defending on a larger scale. This afternoon's practice will emphasize playing on a full field in order combine all of the training topics while also maintaining a competitive energy. 

In between practices the team ate lunch then met in the new (awesome) locker room for an important team meeting regarding position roles, formation strategies, and team goals and standards. The meeting came to an end and sophomore defender Lauren Dudley showed her excitement about the new room followed by Coach Leslie Weeks showing off some of her hidden talent...check it out!
