Purdue has been practicing in the mornings under Ryan Walters. The second-year coach explained the benefits of getting work in earlier in the day.
Purdue's football team abides by the "rise and grind" phrase under coach Ryan Walters. The Boilermakers are getting team meetings and practices done in the morning — and there's a very specific reason as to why.
There's no doubt that the football season is a grind. With practices, games, travel, workouts, film sessions and more, student-athletes are already pressed for time. Walters believes getting work in early in the day maximizes how guys spend their time. "At the end of the day, you're not as gassed. If we're practicing in the afternoon, do you go to that 8 class? I don't know if you're getting yourself out of bed and going to that class. Then you're done with us at 5:30 or 6 , you're probably tired because you've gone through a whole day. So, you're going home, getting on a video game and going to bed," Walters said.
