A New Tradition!

This year Brad started a new tradition with the team. On the 1st day of practice Brad gave an inspirational thought and then asked someone on the team to give one the next day. This assignment gets passed along daily and some thoughts and stories that the guys have come up with have been really inspiring.

University of Utah Invitational!

Again, BYU had a great showing at the Utah Invitational. 3 of the 4 semi-finalists were BYU players with an all BYU Final.
Thomas & Spencer both made it to the finals. Thomas won a close match in three sets.
This is our freshman, Spencer Smith, shaking hands after beating Utah's #1 player! Go Spencer!

Early Morning Conditioning!

This year the team has been doing early morning conditioning. They work out at 6:30 am on Monday, Wednesday & Friday. The trainers have started the "Cougar Country Club Competition." Our guys compete against the golf team in different activities.


Brad has committed to making it to all of the workouts with them this year, and is starting to get his own 8 pack.

For Brad, the toughest loss, so far this year, has been losing to the Golf Team in water polo. Fortunately, the next week we beat them in field hockey so he is able to sleep again.

BYU Fall Invitational!

The first tournament of the year is the BYU Invitational. We had some great results from the BYU team, with Cassidy & Evan both earning a spot in the finals.
Georgy, Evan & Spencer.

Fall Racqueteer Day!

We had a great turn out for our Fall Racqueteer Day on Sept 19th.

Racqueteers were teamed up with members of the team for some fun doubles, followed by brunch.


Welcome to School!

We had our team party to welcome everyone to school.

The highlight of the evening was having Andy Rosenberg come speak to the players. Andy has been a director for NBC Sports for years. He has covered the Beijing Olympics, US Open, Wimbledon, French Open and pretty much every other major sporting event you can think of. Andy spoke to the guys about what he has seen that successful athletes have in common. The guys really enjoyed his stories and what he had to share.

Spencer & Chris.

Cassidy, Roman, Georgy, Ricardo, Michael, Thomas, Matthew & Evan!


Our traditional game of sharks & minnows! Oh, I forgot to add that I can't remember for sure, but I am almost positive that Cindi won sharks & minnows, woo hoo, Go Cindi!
