Today was a great start to continue my education on the collegiate level. FAU held their camp for players around the country to participate in. I assisted in the beginning with providing the participants with their shirts but the most interesting portion was listening to the coaches engage in conversation with these student athletes. Some were local others were from all parts of Florida and a few were down from Indianapolis. Upon completing my first assignment, I then took the field with the coaching staff and listened to the head coach (Mr. Partridge) make his speech to the athletes and motivate them for the day. I first worked with the 40 yard dash, then I went to work with the Offensive Line. I did have the choice to work with any position and I selected the offensive line for two reasons which was to work with a friend who is in the process of becoming a graduate assistant and to learn more about the position and what to teach. I believe it is one of the hardest position on the field and the most important for an offense to succeed. I finished off the day by playing quarterback while the offensive and defensive line were going one on one and I was the target. The offense did a better job than what I anticipate but there were not any athletes that jumped out to me that I believe were ready to compete at the next level. It was a very hot South Florida day and once the camp was completed, I had a meeting with the director of player personnel to game plan for the next day. Tomorrow is the final camp the program is holding and they anticipate around 120 to 130 athletes. Today they hosted 179 athletes.
