Boot Camp
I wanted to share with all of you, something new we started doing that I think is THE BEST thing we have ever done.
I was inspired by Coach Randy Jackson’s book Culture Defeats Strategy – Book Review Here.
We are doing a week long boot camp for the players this week.
JV and varsity alternate between weight room and field
On field we haven’t done any actual football, it has been all competitive drills.
It has been a blast, and the kids are working harder than I have ever seen. We are starting to have some leaders emerge. kids are cheering each other on, and finally starting to celebrate each other’s success.
We are by no means perfect, but I see it starting to bring everyone together.
It is probably the best change we have made… some special moments this week and we are starting to separate the men from the boys… the winners from the excuse makers.
Here are some examples of things we have done this week.
Here is a break down of what our week looks like.
