per Megan:
But the Gophers can’t really do anything about the what-ifs. So Fleck has the team focused on what it can control. For the players, that’s at-home workout programs. His staff, also working from home, has a weekly schedule to stick to, including watching recruiting film, scouting future opponents and diving into studies of NFL teams or other schemes. Coaches can also dissect the bit of film they have from early spring practices.
“In times of adversity, we’re going to find ways to even continue to get better and grow. Because there will be a time when this is over, and we do go back to work, and the players do come back,” Fleck said. “We want to make sure that we pick up where we left off.”
Fleck said this is a “scary” time where no one can really anticipate what the future will look like. But his team has put together various contingency plans and is following them. And that’s the best way Fleck knows how to get through this.
“We’ll be better in athletics, better in our society, better as a nation because of it, somehow someway,” Fleck said. “… We will go back to normalcy, but it won’t be what normal was. It’ll be a new normal. It’ll be an adapted normal for us. Hopefully, for us, it’s a better normal that makes everybody safer. And we’re prepared for this now.”
