Orlando City focused on building culture during preseason training at IMG Academy

BRADENTON, Fla. — Orlando City isn’t interested in discussing last season anymore.

The Lions are in Bradenton for preseason training at IMG Academy — something coach James O’Connor has been waiting for since the end of last season’s tumultuous campaign. The team had medical exams Sunday and on Monday got to work building the culture O’Connor has envisioned since joining the club in the middle of 2018.

“I think togetherness,” O’Connor said about the culture he wants to build. “I think that’s probably the biggest factor. I think then, obviously, there’s so many factors off that. We spent a lot of time sort of speaking about the culture we want to create.
