It goes without question that I am LinemenInc’s biggest supporter. Heck! We’ve got a great product here and I want the world to know about it. LinemenInc is a very unique, almost one of a kind experience. It’s also an opportunity for Dave and I to give something back to the sport that we love. It’s an opportunity to improve the play of high school linemen, while in our own way, helping to prepare them for life. If the player does what he is suppose to do off the field as well as on the field, his success is guaranteed. This success may not include a future in football but will always include life.

But enough about what I think of LinemenInc. If you’ve been to our camp and have an opinion, we’re interested in hearing it. With that thought in mind, here are just a few of the things that others had to say after this year’s camp.

Buck Rohles, high school coach and father:
“The nice thing about the camp is that it does not come off as a fund raiser or a commercial venture. Real value is obtained and your desire to increase the performance of these young men is evident. I wish I had another son to send you. If you are still around in 18 years, perhaps a grandson will be interested!”

Matt Hicks, Santa Ynez High School player:
“I attended the camp for the first time this year and I have to say it’s one of the greatest learning experiences I’ve ever had. The coaches were stellar and you can expect me to come back next year!”

Owen Kellis, David Douglas High School player:
“I want to thank you guys for the camp that you have put on for the past two years. What I have learned in those two years with you guys has been amazing. Not only have I learned new ways to improve on my playing, but I have also learned new things about myself and what obstacles I can overcome… I did what you suggested at one of the meetings. I found an old lunch box, painted it in my school colors and wrote, “The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender” on it. I’ve taken it to every weight lifting session and practice. I can tell other players understand the meaning and have drawn from it to work harder…”

Aaron Thigpen, world- class sprinter, speed & performance coach, Game Speed founder
“This camp renewed my faith in coaches who want to do the right thing for the kids, who wanted to pass on their knowledge, connect with the athletes, and make an impact in the young men’s lives. I’m usually not too big on camps; however, this one changed my mind it had it all the key components of a first rate athletic experience…

… As I observed the days instruction I was thoroughly impressed how smoothly the camp ran. There was so much enthusiasm in the air and it was contagious. It was quickly apparent to me that this was not only a camp but an experience…

… I was supposed to be there for a thirty-minute speech. I spent more than seven hours there because the atmosphere was so magnetic. Coaches teaching, athletes learning, camaraderie, and just plain old hard nosed fun. I graduated high school twenty-two years ago and that’s what I recall from my prep years. Today prep sports are tainted with so many things contrary to what they were in my day. The Linemen Inc camp harkens back to that day and defines what prep sports used to be and ought to be…”
