As the season is winding down a number of thoughts are coming to mind.  Some of it is just things that are long overdue and need handling.  Let’s start with photos!  I know many of you who attended camp are still looking for the camp photos, as well you should.  Some may have already given up hope but don’t despair, we are on it.  A couple of things have happened to delay their posting: First, we had over 1000 photos from both camps combined to go through!  It took forever!  Second, we are revamping our web site as we speak.  In the very near future, each camp will have it’s own page including camp photos, news about just that camp and it’s own registration form.  We’re very excited about the changes, so please bear with us.

OKLAHOMA!  Yes, LinemenInc is most definitely coming to Oklahoma, for the summer of 2009!  This is a huge undertaking with many risks but we believe the mid-west needs this type of individual training and we’re proud to provide it.  Dave and I will have a booth at the Tulsa, OK. Frank Glazier Mega Clinic, February 4-7, 2009.  If you are planning on attending, please stop by and say hello, so we might introduce you to our camp.  The Oklahoma camp will be held at St. Gregory’s University, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, just 30 miles east of Oklahoma City.  We’re still working on the dates but it looks like the very end of June, first of July.  Keep your calenders open, guys!

The current economic forecasts isn’t a very bright one.  Everyone is having to tighten their belts these days and we understand that.  We believe that LinemenInc provides a unique product to a select group of people; the high school lineman.  We also believe that poor planning precludes a possible failure.  That is to say, plan now for your future, so as to not be let down when your future arrives.  It’s like getting in the weightroom every week during the off season to be prepared for the season.  Start your fundraising now for your summer camps, seven months from now.  Waiting until spring in this economy will only ensure disappointment later. 

Web Site Improvements:  Along with some of the changes already mentioned, look for an updated camp video on the main home page, as well as a new video of college coaches testimonials.  These top rated coaches took the time at the end of camp this year to express their thoughts on camp and the product we are putting forth.  These improvements should be completed by months end. 

Yes, the season maybe winding down but many other things are just gearing up.  The best of luck to all of you with what’s left of your season!  Whether you are playing for a playoff berth or just pride, always make your best effort and never quit.  Remember, for the Gladiators of old, to quit meant surrender and death.  “The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.” - Vince Lombardi

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
