The Grind: Behind the scenes in New Iberia

TORONTO — The Grind continues in New Iberia, La. this week, as Brodie Lawson takes you behind the scenes with Ottawa REDBLACKS star Diontae Spencer.

Thursday’s show gets a glimpse at the second episode of ‘The Grind’, visiting Dionte’s high school, a Louisiana staple and a sneak peak at the second episode of the series.

‘The Grind’ brings CFL host Brodie Lawson across Canada and the Southern U.S. to learn what it takes to get physically and mentally fit for the 2018 football season.

Lawson goes beyond the average gridiron grind, doing drills on a Florida beach, engaging in MMA-inspired sparring and hitting the gym in a fire hall in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. She’ll also find out how a player juggles his eight kids while still getting his reps in.

Exclusively on the CFL Facebook page, fans can get a behind-the-scenes look at Lawson’s adventures on the road each Thursday, then tune in to a full workout video every Tuesday.

If you missed the first episode on Tuesday, you can re-watch it right here on CFL.ca, or on the league’s Facebook page.
