IRVINE, Calif. – With the 2018 USL season getting underway for Orange County SC on Saturday night as it hosts Phoenix Rising FC at Champions Soccer Stadium (10 p.m. ET | Match Center) the team spent time in preseason going through one of the most intense workouts possible.

Starting bright and early at Laguna Beach, the players were put through their paces by former Green Beret Cadre Doug Wong for 12 hours. Starting with pushups on the beach, the players carried backpacks full of bricks, making their way from the beach to Wilderness Park that evening.

Watch the players' incredible journey in the video above.
