Practice two begins and my focus today was viewing an athlete who is being highly recognized by the NFL and there are scouts already scheduled for visits. I also will be assisting the NFL scouts with any needs while they are in the building which is something I am looking forward to. I am also working on projects to keep in contact with recruits by writing letters, assisting with social media and also learning what the NCAA guidelines are for what is allowed because there are very particular rules that apply and if broken, it can hurt the program. I did learn today how Twitter is one of the leading social media methods used with student athletes today. We were also working on posts and game planning for what prospect or commit to contact and when. The coaching staff is getting busier now that practice has started so there are more office needs that I have also been working on. I got a few minutes to talk with the Head Coach (Charlie Partridge) and it was very enlightening. I did learn by speaking with him to never hold back on your career and never give up and the small things always seem to be overlooked but they are not. We also talked about how he game plans practice during the off-season versus in season. I enjoy speaking to coaches because there is truly no book or webpage that will teach you how to coach. Learning on the experience is very common and being mentored by other coaches happens quiet frequently. I also expressed my interest in the program and expressed my thanks for the opportunity.
