The Florida women’s basketball team held its preseason media day Thursday, and coach Cam Newbauer and the players got to share their thoughts on the offseason and the season to come. They spoke a lot on improvement from last season and had a new-found confidence. Here are three areas the team addressed for the upcoming season:

Towson game a chance to grow

By Dylan Rudolph | Sep. 26, 2019

Four games in and the No. 9 Gators remain an enigma. Close calls and injuries have hampered the team through the season thus far, but it remains in playoff contention, though the schedule gets no easier.

The case for the air attack

By Kyle Wood | Sep. 26, 2019

I’ve written in the past about how important it is for Florida to establish its running game. That’s what good football teams do, right? They have balanced offenses and play calling and they get it done on the ground and in the air. They’re multifaceted and can beat you in a variety of ways.

Stress less about your food

By Matthew Diaz | Sep. 26, 2019

As exam season peaks its head around the corner, I think it’s important to talk about ways to maintain a healthy mental state while going through the rigors of midterms and finals.

Although, I think anyone can tell this is a bad habit to keep. Food is the fuel your body will use when you study and eventually rock those exams, so it’s important to be mindful of what you use. Here I’ll recommend some foods that have helped me stay sharp during tests.
