Come Sunday, players have earned a well-deserved day off from weights training, conditioning and practice before restarting their weekly routine on Monday to prepare Nov. 26’s state game. For Laughman, he is able to catch up on everyday activities other people can take for granted.
“I normally watch some football, hang out, do everything I wish I could do in the week,” Laughman said. “And just definitely relax.”
Coaches, on the other hands, meet at the field house at 3:00 p.m. to get started on planning practice in anticipation of next week’s game. In this case, Applebee will be preparing his coaches to lead the team through one last week of practice before the football team’s season concludes for the final time this year.
“Us coaches usually meet at the field house Sunday afternoon and discuss how the upcoming week is going to look,” Applebee said. “What we do with one another on Sunday ranges from putting together and sending out the week’s practice schedule to the team so that they know what to expect from the week or putting together my PowerPoint for Monday morning’s team meeting. Regardless of what it was that we’re accomplishing, it’s important that we all have that time on Sunday to get going for what’s going to happen on Monday.”
Players may also watch more film with one another or do drills and workouts during this time.
