BLACKSBURG – Set your DVR and get your popcorn ready!
Tune into the ACC Network on Saturday, May 1 (following Tech's baseball contest vs. UVA – approximately 10 p.m.) for the premiere of Authentic ACC: Hokie All-Access. Our cameras let you ride along with head coach Justin Fuente and defensive coordinator Justin Hamilton during an entire day of spring football practice. Following the premiere, the full feature will live on HokieSports.com, as well as the YouTube channel of Virginia Tech Athletics. See below for a list of re-air times on ACC Network.
This exclusive 30-minute presentation begins at 4:45 a.m. as Coach Fuente backs his Chevy Tahoe out of the driveway and begins the drive to work. Along the way he discusses strategies for avoiding deer on his commute and what he typically listens to in transit, as well as the points of emphasis he stressed to the team during the spring. Upon arrival at 25 Beamer Way, Fuente walks fans through his daily routine and what he's been reading lately. Fans will also enjoy the backstory of some of the head coach's office décor.
Throughout the special, fans will enjoy multiple mic'd up segments from both coaches during practice, shedding more light on the way they engage and interact with players and the rest of the football staff. Viewers will also get a front row seat for a 7 a.m. team meeting, as well as Fuente's afternoon staff meeting.
After practice, it's time for lunch with Coach Hamilton, his wife Brittany and their three young children and a deep dive into the work-life balance of a coaching family. You won't want to miss the post-lunch weight room workout with the Hamilton kids. After meetings with players in the afternoon and a tour of Coach Hamilton's office, it's time to head to his son's flag football practice in Christiansburg.
Of course, there are other surprises along the way, so we encourage all Virginia Tech fans to tune in and watch.
