The Grind idea...


What is the Gator Grind?
The Gator Grind is more than a website. It is more than the stories that will be told, more than the photos that will be posted and more than the videos that will be uploaded. It is our chance to tell stories our way. We are forever grateful to be Florida Gators. Part of this website is to show our fans the appreciation they deserve, but it is also a chance to show our teammates the appreciation they deserve.

We have amazing stories to tell and we are proud to be part of something that gives us a chance to share those stories. We have a unique perspective on our lives and what it means to be a Gator; The Grind, the day to day, week to week, and year to year push that makes Florida Athletics what it is. It is something special. We challenge ourselves everyday to get better. Whether, it is another tackle, another homerun, or another personal best you can bet that we are grinding everyday to achieve it.

We also grind in the classroom and the community. Sometimes these stories are lost in the midst of stellar athletic achievement. The Gator Grind is an outlet to illuminate equally as stellar performances in other aspects of our lives outside of our sport. At the University of Florida we are better. We don't settle for just being great athletes. We strive to be the whole package. We are the passionate students. We are the determined All-Americans. We are the honored National Champions. We are the active community members. We are the Gator Nation. We are The Gator Grind!
