The whole team has been unbelievable. I’ve been staying in touch with everybody and it’s been great. We talk about it when we’re in the locker room and what not how tight knit we were in the locker room and everything,” Dane said. “To still stay in touch as often as I do with those guys is pretty cool. It just shows you that we didn’t just like each other because of football, and once you’re done with football you’re still close with these guys.”
Dane said he used to bounce ideas off of his Patriots teammates about a training facility he might open, and on Aug. 1, that hypothetical gym became a reality. The Pitt offers specialized training for competitive athletes of all ages and levels, enhancing power, strength, speed and agility while also “decreasing the occurrence of athletic injuries,” according to the website. They work with individual adults, as well and middle and high school students, and full teams.
