My Students

Have you ever wanted to be the best you could possibly be? Have you ever wanted to learn and become knowledgeable in every facet of a specific task or activity? The students in our football program have a great desire to develop their football skills both physically...and MENTALLY!

Our players are wonderful young men with great work ethics.

They contribute countless hours of hard work to our program. They love the game of football and possess strong desires to make themselves better in all aspects of the game. Several of our players have a legitimate opportunity to earn a college scholarship via their abilities on the football field.

My Project

The "Minidv" tapes will be used to film our games as well as some practices and scrimmages. We will then use that footage to self-scout ourselves. The players will be able to reflect on their performance and identify what areas of their game they need to improve. Our coaches will also be able to use the film to critique our performance from a strategic standpoint as well as grade our players' performances and try to help them get better. We will also use the game footage to create highlight films in which we send to colleges across the country hoping to earn our players scholarships. The external hard drive will be where we digitally store all of our game/scrimmage/practice and highlight films. We will also use it to store the film we obtain on our opponents. This film is crucial to both our coaches' and players' preparation for each game. The "Head cleaner" will be used to clean and maintain the heads of our cameras. This helps to ensure that we have high-quality film for our players.

With your donation of these materials, our players will be able to study film of themselves as well as our opponents.

Our coaches will also be able to guide our players in the evaluation of their skills and preparation for future games. All of this will give our players a tremendous mental advantage, which should provide a greater opportunity for success. Also, the highlight films we create will be sent to colleges across the country with the hopes of earning scholarships for our players.
