Colorado strength coach Andreu Swasey delivered a blunt message to players in Deion Sanders’ absence, urging them to stay focused as expectations mount with the season opener just weeks away.
In a video shared by Well Off Media on Wednesday, Swasey told the team not to waste time as they entered week three of summer camp. Sanders is currently recovering from a health issue at his home in Texas.
"It's gonna come so fast, your damn head gonna spin,” Swasey said. “We can't waste a second. You see how quick, up? We talking about next week, bro. That's four weeks down. Then we got two more weeks in July. Like, you got to put all the perspective. So, we can't waste no time.”•
Swasey addressed the players ahead of a player-led 7-on-7 session, stressing the urgency and discipline they need heading into July and August.
“Two, we got to be more sharper about all the discipline stuff,” he added. “Like everything. You know, Coach Prime, the one thing he know we got to do is is a discipline."Colorado opens the season against Georgia Tech on Friday, Aug. 29, at 6 p.m. at Folsom Field in Boulder. The game will air on ESPN.
