I spent game-day with Rick Bolton, he is the University of Tulsa's Men's Basketball strength coach. Bolton a former basketball player at Winston Salem State University remembers game-days and how different his perspective on them now is. I spent time with Bolton on game-day and i learned how the players take pee test in the morning to tell if they are hydrated or not. It is followed by a series of workouts accompanied by red-shirt and injured players. Coach Bolton talked about finding that piece with yourself before a game, while he was recalling his past game-days. I asked him what his favorite part about game-day, he said," The calm before the storm". At first i found the comment slightly cheesy, but then i realized not only was he serious. He was also making an allusion to the Golden Hurricane. Next time you watch a basketball event see if you can spot Coach Bolton, and hopefully you will appreciate the background work that is done for the players that can go unnoticed.
