How Stephen Curry impacted Mike McDaniel, Dolphins training camp

Generational athletes tend to have the most insane training regimens. With how Stephen Curry worked in the Golden State Warriors system, every fiber of his being has been dedicated to winning four Larry O’Brien trophies. So, Mike McDaniel thought that it would be good for the Miami Dolphins to emulate how the greatest shooter of all time operates.
Mike McDaniel is not the typical NFL head honcho. He updates his coaching philosophy a lot and fits his schemes to fit the team that was constructed in front of him. This time around, he observed how the Warriors and Stephen Curry became a dynasty. Clearly, he wants Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill along with the rest of the squad to have the same work ethic.
What did the Dolphins head coach do? He made his players run, via Grant Gordon of Around the NFL.
"The practice today with various constraints at certain specific positions, we had to frontload with our full-speed reps and we kind of have to have an in-between walkthrough and light practice, jog-through at the tail end of it,” McDaniel declared.
Football is a game of trying to get the most gains over one’s opponents. The Dolphins can only have as many entries in the win column as the number of yards they notch. He then explained how the Warriors and Stephen Curry factored into all of this.
“That's something that you guys aren't used to seeing all the time, but that's an adjustment to protect the way we train our fundamentals and technique, which if you want to be a good football team or the best football team or anything that falls in the bucket of where we're trying to go, you have to train those, much like I was talking to the team today about Steph Curry,” he concluded.
Will the Dolphins start a dynasty with how they’re operating?
