Barry's Recruiting Tips #2 - Football Camps In these times when money is tighter than ever choosing what football camps to go to can be a very daunting task. It seems almost every camp participant I have met has a dream of playing football after high school. There is no one that can guarantee that there is a scholarship for everyone to play football at the next level. But at the National Underclassmen Combine we hope to provide an opportunity for everyone to discover and improve their skill level. Below are some tips and answers to some of the most common questions regarding football camps. |

11. Proper nutrition and hydration are key elements to having a successful camp. This means making sure you have a good meal and start drinking non-carbonated fluids the day prior the camp. Too many participants wait till the morning of the camp to start hydrating. By then it is too late for your body to process all the fluids. Also make sure to have a nutritious breakfast and continue hydrating throughout the day of the camp. 12. Do not take stretching or warming up lightly. So many camp participants get hurt early in either during the testing phase or agility stations. This translates into a lost day at a football camp. 13. When a camp instructor is speaking remember to be polite by keeping your mouth shut. You are there to learn and if you are not listening then you are not learning. Plus you may be affecting other campers around you. Any time a coach takes the time to repeat instructions to campers that did not pay attention is time taken away from the overall camp. 14. It is highly recommended that you bring teammates to camps. Don't go alone when you can increase your football knowledge together with teammates. This helps build team chemistry while keeping you in shape during the off season. There is not a greater feeling than going into two-a-days knowing that you're already in football shape because of the camp circuit you took part in over the spring and summer. 15. Lastly some techniques may be taught differently at a camp versus your own high school. Don't make excuses just do what the camp instructors are teaching you. When you get back to your school then do exactly what your high school coach is teaching you. There is always more than one way to skin a cat. Versatility is the key to success in the game of football. |
