If Dante King were invited to hold a training camp to teach youth about how to be a great football player, he would be honored to have the opportunity to share his passion and craft with the next generation of professional athletes. He himself was inspired by the stars of yesteryear, so getting to make an impact on kids' lives would be a dream come true. The nice thing about playing running back is that it is probably the simplest position to teach novice players - while other positions need to heavily focus on perfecting their technique, memorizing schemes and alignments, and exhibiting on-field awareness of where the ball is at, to play running back at the youth level you basically just need to run straight ahead and sometimes sort of to the side. Any kid can have a blast as the ballcarrier, so Dante will mostly just have them take turns lining up in the backfield and improvising as they see holes and lanes develop. This will help them build their confidence and practice elusiveness skills, while also just getting to have a good time running around instead of working on perfecting a particular skill.
