Brownlow: Camp Fatigue

Posted Aug 10, 2010
On the first day of camp on Friday, a 5:45 wake-up call was followed by a conditioning test, breakfast, two hours of meetings, lunch, practice for two hours in the stifling August heat, two hours of down time, dinner and meetings from 7-10. It's exhausting just to wrap your brain around it, much less experience it. "It was just frustrating the first couple of days, just the tempo of practice and the heat and the yelling and the plays," Erik Highsmith said. (Tar Heel Blue)
