football player shower 226x214 Tennessee players need to hit the showers

When coach tells you to hit the showers next time, he literally means it. Just standing underneath some water isn’t going to do the trick, Tennessee coach Derek Dooley wants you to get in there and scrub like you’ve never scrubbed before. Especially in places where the sun doesn’t shine.

We’ve had a few staph infections, so we did a clinic yesterday on proper shower technique and soap and using a rag,” Dooley said. “We put some new rags in — y’all think I’m kidding, but I’m serious.

“We had, I told them, the worst shower discipline of any team I’ve ever been around. So we talked a little bit about application of soap to the rag and making sure you hit all your body. You know, you can neglect it trying to cut corners, and it shows in how you practice and elsewhere. I’m hoping we show some improvement in that.”

It’s all fun and games in the shower fellas until a staph infection breaks out. So do yourselves a favor and stop snapping towels at each other and lather up.
