The off-season is difficult for many different reasons, but one definite challenge comes with the physical limits that are regularly pushed.
Earlier this morning, after a practice and weight lifting session (much like the one we featured here last week), the Cal volleyball team endured a trying cardio circuit, which included five different five-minute stations with only one-minute breaks in between each drill.
The good news? Strength and conditioning coach Hank Behrens gave the Bears some extra motivation. If each player improved upon their scores from the last time they did this exact circuit, they would enjoy a day off this Friday.
When it was all said and done, they have a three day weekend ahead of them.
