Dolphins choose Navy SEAL training over final minicamp practice
The Miami Dolphins were scheduled to hold their final practice of minicamp on Thursday, but opted instead for another team-building activity.

Instead of holding a kickball game like it did during OTAs, receivers coach Phil McGeoghan revealed that the team participated in a day of Navy SEAL training.
As a team we went Navy Seal Training. Players and coaches. Unreal experience. Seals are the real deal! Now I have to get in the cold tub.

Even though kicker Caleb Sturgis was injured during the aforementioned kickball game, team officials evidently weren’t concerned about putting the players through a far more rigorous activity.
The reaction from the players on social media was overwhelmingly positive.
Still have sand in my eyes..ears as well as other parts of my body that I won't mention. LITTLE glimpse of Navy Seal training. Respect.

The Navy Seals team training we just did is the hardest thing Ive ever done. If youre a Navy Seal you are a better man than me, no question.

Seals training is the real F'n deal. It is not a joke. I bow to the Seals after we just went through a small portion of what they do. 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Like Jordan Cameron said, Thursday's workout was just a small glimpse of how the SEALs train on a daily basis and these world-class athletes really had to grind their way through it.
A lot of the SEAL challenges lean heavily on teamwork in order to complete a task. Things like that could go a long way when the season rolls around.
