EXTRA POINTS NORTH STAR FOOTBALL

Coach’s Message

6.28-6.29 

Star’s Football Family-

As we put the final touches on our summer football camp plans, I am reminded daily that many aspects go into the production of a successful summer plan. The goal of our program is to make every experience our players have an opportunity to build our values and in turn strengthen our team culture. In previous newsletters, we have touched on the importance of the climb. Being willing to start at the bottom and put the work into climbing back to the top. This week I would like to focus on the space in between the start and finish.  

JOURNEY VS DESTINATION 

As we embark on this new season I want to stress the importance for all of us to focus not just on the destination we are striving to achieve. The top of the mountain is certainly a great goal but for us to make this a reality, we must first embrace the journey that we are about to take. The day-to-day climb will feed our souls and build the behaviors that we will need to reach the destination. Focusing on a destination is not a terrible thing to do but often it is just a point on a map and it offers no benefits until the destination is reached. On the flip side, when we focus on the journey we can appreciate each small step that we take in preparation for reaching the destination. Starting tomorrow, our slow ascent to the top begins. 

ESSENTIAL

In our preparation paradigm summer camp is the unofficial start to our season. While no camps are mandatory, our player’s attendance is an essential part of their development. With limited time, each day is a highly choreographed production with finite goals attached to each learning opportunity. Absences are expected but as a part of our accountability value, players are encouraged to keep up online with all installs. Again, our goal is to provided an ELITE experience for all participants. Lack of accountability or preparation on the player’s part will inhibit that experience. I say this not to scare anyone but to simply be transparent in our expectations and standards. 

Finally, our communication loop must be clear, concise, and accurate.  Please take the time to read emails, newsletters and check our website www.scn4thphase.org As always, if you have any questions please reach out to any of our group leaders
