The San Francisco 49ers revamped their roster with significant offseason changes, necessitating an emphasis on team cohesion. To bond veterans with new players, the organization engaged Navy SEALs for a unique training experience. This effort aimed to instill elite communication skills and teamwork values similar to those of a SEAL unit. Players like Brock Purdy and George Kittle expressed how inspired they were by the SEALs' stories and standards, finding the experience crucial for building a unified team culture ahead of the upcoming season.
We needed to form a reliable bond between the seasoned veterans and the hot-shot newcomers.
Hearing their stories and what it's like, being on a SEALs team unit and how that translates to us being a football team... it was pretty special for me and eye-opening for sure.
They talk about what the Navy SEALs standard is, how they uphold that, how they built that and how they wrote it... you learn a lot of cool stuff from them.
It's absolutely crazy to hear stories such as SEALs cramming into little clear fishing boats that were supposed to...
The 49ers spent a recent week submerged, so to speak, in SEALs training to transform them back into an elite, special operations force in the NFL.
