Change of Heart: Florida Atlantic University men's tennis team has soccer practice?

A couple guys on Florida Atlantic University men's tennis team decided to join the FAU intramural soccer team this season.

But that didn't go well with the FAU men's tennis head coach, Brandon Stokes.

(Obviously, the guys didn't know or mean to cause problems with the FAU tennis team, they were just joining the intramural team for fun.)

However, Coach Stokes was so angry about the guys joining the intramural soccer team because he felt the team should focus 100% of their "athletic" attention to FAU tennis.

Throughout the next week of practice, Coach Stokes decided to change things up a little:
  • Coach Stokes went to the FAU men's soccer head coach, Kos Doney.

  • Coach Doney gave Coach Stokes a full week of soccer practices, workouts, and drills.

  • Then, Coach Stokes explained to his tennis team that since they all love playing soccer so much, they would have soccer practice for the next few days.

But after those intense soccer practices, the FAU tennis team had enough soccer to hold them over until at least next season!

Who knows? Maybe Coach Stokes actually made the right decision and now the men will be ready to focus more on tennis practice, and come out with a Sun Belt Conference championship.

I'm confident in them, as long as they don't "step out of line" again.
