Saying that the camp, which was held at the William Paterson University campus, was a success is an understatement. With instructors coming in from all over the country to teach 200 youth and high school football player’s technique training, the experience was a smash hit with all those who attended.
Running around getting b-roll on positional drills and keeping an eye out for action shots of running backs and quarterbacks working together kept me busy from beginning to end. With all the hours worked at the camp, there are two favorite moments of my.
Personally, I’m a big fan of Phil McConkey now. Not that I wasn’t before, I just wasn’t around him to get to know his personality. He’s inspirational. He’s a great speaker. And any parents should, without a doubt, listen to him speak. He’s got a way about him that gets you pumped up. It takes a special person to make you want to train, even when you’ve been out of athletics for years. That’s how I felt.
My second favorite moment, after listening to McConkey speak to the athletes, was, in a few moments of off-time, throwing a football around. Throwing back and forth with a colleague made my day. But what made my day even more was when Mike Kruczeck walked up to me and asked if I played football. I hadn’t. He’d introduced himself to me the night before, walked up and shook my hand. I got a 10-minute personal lesson on throwing a football. Now, don’t get me wrong, I can throw a football better than most omegle girls. I’ve got a great spiral, and I can hurl that ball. I’m petite, but I used to be a goalkeeper for soccer. That’s what I told Kruczek when he asked where I learned to catch like that. I can’t lie, I love running around and playing catch, catching balls that a lot of people couldn’t catch, over my shoulder NFL style, leaping into the air. It’s the athlete and competitor in me. I’m always up for showing you up on the field. Anyhow, Kruczek took the time to watch me throw the ball, and then continued to give me a quick lesson on holding and releasing. My brother taught me to throw when I was a youngster, and since I have small hands, I can throw better depending on the football and the laces. Kruczek showed me it didn’t matter the football, that it depended on how I was holding it. Let’s just say I’ll continue to practice the way he held the ball. It’s a work in progress, but I promise, by the time I see him in Chicago in two weeks, he’ll be proud of me.
Now I just need to work on throwing the ball 20 yards more than I can now and I’ll really impress some people.
