“…In the locker room after the game, Cornell Coach Tambroni awarded just one game ball. It went to our strength and conditioning coach, Tom Howley. It was Coach Howley’s rigorous and detail-oriented workouts that prepared us to win at this stage against a top-tier team. All I could think of at that time were images of my teammates puking during conditioning tests, running a double mile in the Ithaca winter, diving across lines and receiving only a turf burn on their arm or face as a “reward.” Is it worth all of that pain? ABSOLUTELY! It’s these off-season workouts that give us the confidence to tell ourselves that we can compete with anyone in the country…”
