Amanda Butler calls out a play during Florida's 64-56 loss to No. 6 Tennessee on Sunday in the O'Connell Center.
During the offseason, coach Amanda Butler made it a point to get her team out of its comfort zone.
In addition to taking them on a team "attack," because they "never wanna retreat," Butler also had the team to take boxing lessons.
"We want to be tough," she said.
"We want to do everything we can to cultivate toughness and if you’ve ever had the experience of boxing, it’s not just physical toughness … there’s stamina and endurance and skill and technique that is way beyond how hard can I hit somebody.
