Florida A&M Football Is Taking Advantage of the Summer Grind
TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- We are less than two months out from the start of the 2018 season for the Florida A&M football team. Tickets are being sold, the new field turf is coming along, and the guys are getting after it.
Seven a.m. That's how early the Rattlers are clocking in, many every single day. They lift Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and put in time on the field as well.
This team has new energy and a new focus. They are in search of their first winning season since 2011, and it's obvious everyone has bought in.
"This time right here is make or break you really," said offensive lineman Andre Regis. "This time right here shows if you ready to be a championship contender, you know if you want to go losing. It's on us as a team. We have to put in the work, we have to do what we have to do to make that happen."
"There is something different about us this year," added strength and conditioning coach Parker Brooks. "Attendance is almost 100 percent. Everything just seems to be turned up a notch, we come to work every day, uh we are outworking everybody, anybody who thinks they are outworking don't see us working, they haven't seen us work."
