By Utah Warriors Rugby

January 16^th, 2020

A six hour journey to a destination that awaits our arrival. A destination where we will put months of preseason preparations to the grind. Coaches, staff and players focused on the agenda, the schedule the objectives and the potential outcomes in Las Vegas.

EARLY START

“It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.” - Aristotle.

We beat the sun to its task of piercing the dark blanket of dawn revealing Utah's terrain hours at a time. The still, somber energy of the 35 degree weather and terrain easily matched by the energy inside of the 55 man wheels taking us to destination Las Vegas. We’re bringing, community, family, tradition and respect with us.

TO THE TASK

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started” - Mark Twain

Greeted in true Vegas style, hotels, lights and the hustle. We’re here to do work! Coaches have a game plan we congregate, pack, refuel and head out. The next task at hand, the rugby pitch, execution of our game plan, strategy and camaraderie. We keep building.
