Responding to a Challenge

With thoughts of a tough day ahead, we challenged the team today to practice like winners, to overcome what is normally a sluggish practice (as it customary on the 4th day of camp), and both start and finish the practice on a high note. . .and respond they did! With a spirited inside run/play action period, 7 on 7, and a team period both the offense and defense took strides forward with their techniques and scheme. Wide receivers Nick Scharpf and Tyrone Small continue to impressive me in drills. Defensively, Max Pryor playing defensive end has shown he can pass rush and should add some skill to that position group.

The team is showing great camaraderie over the last few days. The seniors are stepping forward as leaders which has been fantastic and are looking out for the freshmen. To date, we have had only 1 person quit the team; this is the lowest we have had in my time with this many days into camp.

We will be doing some conditioning work in Te morning tomorrow with the first practice of full pads in the afternoon. The first day of full pads is always fun!
