Haywood doesn’t mind heat wave
Towels were draped over players’ heads and shoulders during the Miami RedHawks’ third day of practice today, Aug. 9, but that slight convenience to the 90-plus heat during the afternoon session belonged only to the first- and second-string players.
Their main practice session had been that morning and it was the freshmen and third stringers who worked out, all out, in the afternoon heat in full uniforms and helmets. No towels.
Head coach Michael Haywood didn’t seem to mind the heat.
“This is a great mid-summer day as we practice for Gainesville, Fla.,” he said, referring to Miami’s season opener at Florida.
“It’s great practice for that game,” Haywood said. “It’ll be a heat wave down there.”
It’s not that Haywood isn’t concerned about the conditions. “The guys have to make sure they hydrate,” he said. “We’ve had only two guys who’ve had cramps.”
