(S36) PT 3 - Stars of The Future

When American Boot was approached to hold a training camp for kids, he accepted the offer, and got to work on the drills the children would go through. But this would not be a normal training camp, while there were normal football drills, like catching a football, running routes, and some light conditioning, there would also be a mandatory rocket jumping practice session. He sent his plans to the front office, and everything was approved except for the mandatory rocket jumping practice session. American Boot was distraught over this and nearly cancelled the entire training camp. Eventually the front office was able to reach an agreement where the kids did indoor skydiving instead of rocket jumping. Training camp signups went well with over 500 kids getting signed up. All parents had to sign a waiver, all it said was that they could not sue the organization. The training camp went well, no one got injured, and indoor skydiving was the highlight of training camp.

In our teams training camp, I would make sure to teach them drills that are based on agility and speed first. As a cornerback, it is vital to have those two components to keep up with receivers. First off, we will plan to slide through cones like in basketball in order to work on our lateral agility. Next, we will be doing short sprints in order to show them the burst of speed they need to play the position. And just for fun, we will make them run a mile as well. In terms of technical skill, we will teach them to intercept passes. As a cornerback, I know that the only thing that matters for the position is interceptions. I could let up 300 yards per game but as long as I get an interception it all makes up for it. The kids will run out to the pylon and then turn to intercept the ball and do their best celebration.

As a linebacker, I'm going to teach these kids to be tough, hard-nosed football players that go on the attack from day one. I've heard a lot of people say things like, "They're just kids. It's about fun, not competition." and "We're just trying to teach them the fundamentals." Yeah, well, I'll tell it like I see it, and if you aren't trying to knock the guy with the ball back into next week, are you really even playing football? Don't answer that. The answer is no. That's why I'm going to have these kids hitting sleds to build muscle and running cones to hone their agility. Every single kid that shows up to this camp is going to be a nightmare for every quarterback they line up across from. At the end of the camp, we're going to do Oklahoma drills, and I'm going to get the biggest kid their to carry the rock. You have to be able to wrap up a ball carrier, and I'm going to show them all the tricks. You just wait. This is going to be the future crop of ISFL greats once I'm done with them.

For Ganyu, the prospect of teaching children the concept of playing linebacker is one that she was a bit hesitant on. She herself already isn't exactly thrilled how well known she is for knocking the daylight out of people with her tackles, and she certainly doesn't want to be known as someone who teaches kids to do the same. So, after pondering what she could teach them, it became pretty simple. The kids will no doubt be disappointed about not learning about how to hit hard, but by teaching the kids about the other mechanics that go into being a proper LB, she believes she can hold their interest with ease. With drills based around catching the ball, games of tag that teach about pursuing a ball carrier, prediction games based on reading the eyes of the QB, and the proper stances to take that can help you get the upper-hand, Ganyu's training camp for the non-violent linebacker was something she believed was destined for success!

Harrison Andrews has always been about working with the kids and helping every athlete work towards their goal of becoming a professional athlete. When the Sarasota Sailfish decided they wanted to hold a youth training camp and invite young athletes to the training facility for the day, it was an easy choice for them to name Harley Andrews as the host of the event.

To start things off, Andrews wanted to get the kids gathered around and just chat with them a bit. He knew they would be a bit starstruck at first, so he wanted to talk with them and show them he was a normal guy like them. After breaking the ice, Andrews would separate the athletes up into position groups with the defensive lineman joining him. Once he got the defensive lineman separated from the group, he planned to work with them on a few drills that they could use on a day to day basis to improve their game. These drills would include hand fighting, block shedding, and scramble drills.

At the the Stryker Brown football institute we teach two aspects of the game that seem to be lacking: selfless leadership and FUN! Football is a game. It was meant to be fun. So often guy play football for the glory of the game. They push themselves to the limit to be the best purely to gain notoriety. Most who play football for this reason burn out and never achieve the praise the hope for. The reason they burn out is because the return on hard work is slow and often the stress outweighs the rewards. Those that are motivated by fame and do achieve the level of play they dreamed of end us constantly worrying about the future because one injury or one bad season can strip all their glory away. However, those guys who play because the game is fun end up with less anxiety and often achieve more…because, after all, it’s only a game. And when players begin to play the game with the mindset of putting the good of the team above their own interest players work harder, schemes work more efficiently, and the team has more success. And success is always more fun than sucking!
