Just a friendly reminder folks, that LinemenInc Camps registration is due in just two weeks.  That’s right, June 5. 

Wow!  June is just ten days away.  It always amazes me how quickly we get back to it every year.  Most of you are in the middle of or just starting spring ball.  In no time at all school will break for the summer and summer conditioning and practices will begin.

Have you put yourself in a position to be ready for it?  Are you getting the most out of what you are doing now to maximize your results?  In a previous blog I said that, “the same amount of effort will always end in the same results.”  Those words have never been more true than when applied to athletics.

A high school football player I know recently commented on some fellow teammates that have received a few letters of inquiry from a few colleges.  This young man has always been a starter and even mentioned in his local papers from time to time.  He said, “I want letters too.”  I had to ask him what he was doing different this year in preparing for the coming season in order to be in a position to receive “letters”.

He immediately stated he had been to most of the off-season weight training sessions at his school.  “Most?” I inquired, “Why haven’t you been to every one of them?”

“No one has made every one of them.” He answered.

“Are you just anyone?”  I asked him.  “Do you just want every day run of the mill results or are you looking for something more.  Didn’t you say you too wanted to receive college letters?”

If you only apply the same amount of effort and don’t go the extra distance in your preparation, then don’t be surprised when you don’t arrive where you thought you should. 

Team camps are great and a solid ingredient to a successful team.  If a high school team and it’s players can only afford to attend one camp, it should be a team camp.  However, they are “team camps” and focus more on the team’s growth and rightfully so. 

LinemenInc is an individual camp and we focus on the individual.  You, as an individual, are in charge of your personal growth and advancement.  You have to take a personal interest in where you are going and how you plan to get there.  If you as an individual are improved then so is your team by benefit of your growth.  This applies to coaches as well as players.  We all need to continually work on self improvement and self advancement. Not only to personally benefit but so that we might share that growth and improvement with others thereby helping them to improve.

Again, just a friendly reminder, LinemenInc Camp registrations are due June 5.  Just click on this link to download yours… http://www.linemeninc.com/registration.php
