UofL Head Coach Derek Copeland on the Sunshine State Invite
"We are headed back to the world class venue in Sarasota. The competition has been great there the last few years and it looks even deeper this year. The training here on the Ohio has been good since our return from spring training and the Oak Ridge Cardinal Invite. This shows that the team is continuing to level up and grind through what is typically a high-strain portion of our training.
Â
Like everyone, we have faced a few uncontrollable speed bumps the last couple of weeks. They have been working hard to respond to those circumstances appropriately and it shows in their consistency. We will have to level up our preparation and recovery with the addition of that Florida sun and heat. Our support staff, including Dietitian, Caroline Blincoe, Sports Performance Coach Michael Naperalsky, and Athletic Trainer Meg Lambert have been preparing the group for that extra heat and all that comes with it."
