Unity Camp
One of the things that we do here at Juab is our Unity Camp. We do this every year as one of our football camps. We have the boys sleep in the wrestling room for two nights. We have a practice on Thursday night and then have a guest speaker. This years speaker is Troy Latham who is the director of the bstrong foundation. He will talk about weightlifting and the benefits that come from it. On Friday we have a practice in the morning and then have breakfast that is put on like all the meals by the parents. After this we spend the rest of the day until 4:00 P.M. doing service for our community. We feel great about the opportunity that this presents for us to give to them as we will be the recipients of this the rest of the year as they support us at our games. We have 6-8 different projects that we sent them out to do. At 4:00 we have a 3 mile run around town that we do and then we run some hills at the finish of this run. The hill is long and steep and tough for many of the players but they all get through it and feel a sense of satisfaction when it is completed. We have a pool party that night and most sleep well for the second night. The next morning we help someone in the community move and have breakfast. We then clean up and head home. Most train in the summer for this workout that we do. It is very challenging but they look forward to it.

Wow! I am so impressed! I also coach and know this is quite an undertaking. I think it is so great that the kids give back to the community. You are teaching them such valuable lessons. I'm sure the parents are very supportive of this. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMike,
ReplyDeleteAs always, I am impressed with the way you lead your team! Great ideas! It's not hard to see why so many young men want to play for you.
Keep up the good work and good luck to you this season.
