The University Of Tennessee Lady Vols Basketball Team has been extremely affected by COVID-19. My Junior season abruptly ended. The season ended after the completion of the SEC tournament. Our team had no idea that it was the last game we would play for that season. It was devastating and was a big, unexpected hit for us. We all had to leave our belongings and transfer home where it was safest for us to be during these unknown times. We were not able to play in the NCAA tournament, complete post-season workouts and early summer workouts. Instead, we had to continue classes online at home and complete workouts on our own. This was an interesting time for everyone, including our Coaches. Since returning to campus, we receive weekly tests and will begin to test 3 times as week at the start of the basketball season. I am NOT A FAN of the Covid nose test and still trying to find ways to cope with it. If anyone has any suggestions, please be free to inform me! My teammates have said COVID-19 has affected them in both positive and negative ways. Some would say it helped them create more time for themselves but also struggled with self-discipline and having too much “free-time.”
For those who have lost family members to the coronavirus, my prayers are with you.
I asked my Twitter followers who will be in attendance their year to Lady Vols Basketball Games while social distancing and here were my results:
