Every Friday in July, members of the Temple men’s basketball team head to the nearby Joe Hand Boxing Gym to prepare for the upcoming season. According to Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach Rich Levy, the boxing workouts serve as a good alternative to the team’s usual gym practices and help to strengthen not only cardiovascular conditioning but also hand-eye coordination.
