Training camp kicks off for Football

It’s that time of year again where college football teams across the country begin preparing for their upcoming football season. We just checked in and got equipment today. We had a team meeting and went over all the rules and the schedule of training camp itself. This year, we are fighting to win the conference championship. Going into camp this year, we have 83 players showing up on campus to prove themselves. Myself being a returning starter at wide receiver, I have much competition at my position with a lot of incoming freshman. Half of the team is made up of freshmen this year. Coaches are going to really push us hard these next two weeks in preparing us for the upcoming season. I am looking forward to an exciting year as well as going out to win the conference championship. We have a lot of potential.

Summer 11

Well, now that summer is officially finished for me, it is back to school and football. This summer, I was busy with a lot of things. I have a job at home in which I work for my uncle’s business and ship medical supplies. I also got the chance to go and visit my girlfriend and her family in Chicago. But mostly, I have been busy preparing for the upcoming 2011 football season. I lifted and ran everyday throughout the week, training myself so that I could become a better football player. Summer this year was abnormally hot in the Pittsburgh region. Caused me to have a lack of energy throughout the days. I got to hang out and catch up with many of my friends from home. But most importantly, I got to spend some quality time with my family. Summer after your first year of college can be a great relief, though I did miss many of my friends here at Gallaudet.
