Week 5 of EP Football's Summer Workouts

Week 5 - This week athletes worked very hard on Monday and Tuesday. Monday we had close to 65 athletes in the weight room preparing for the fall sports seasons. Wednesday the football players got their last workout of the week in before loading up and heading for Camp in McCloud. I was very pleased with how many athletes chose to get a workout in on the day that camp was starting.

Football Camp was great for the Eagle Point Football Team! Our Freshman proved to be very fast on Defense and fairly balanced between the air and ground on the offensive side of the ball.

Our Varsity Linemen won the Linemen challenge that was spread out over 3 nights worth of competition. The eagles were lead by Sophomore Tyrone Holmes!

The JV 7 on 7 team won their bracket of competition and was lead by Sophomore Receivers Edward Martinez and Loren Nesberg!

All athletes became better football players and became a little more mentally tough this year at camp.

Players battled physically and mentally for 5 days of non-stop football. The temperature reached triple digits the last three days which made for very warm practices. Players responded better this year then last to the coaching styles of the staff.

Week 4 of EP Football's Summer Workouts

Week 4 - This was our last week of our first phase of our summer strength program. The athletes are starting to see some of the physical benefits of the weight room as we started 7 on 7 this week. Our football players are starting and stopping faster then they have ever done before and they are becoming mentally tough. Many people know that you can get strong, faster, and more explosive in the weight room. The thing people over-look is the fact that teenagers gain confidence in the weight room. Teenagers will carry their heads higher down the hall and on the field when they know they have put in the time in the weight room.

We had a few of the Girls soccer team join us this week and they worked hard and got better. I hope they do not get to discouraged by being sore. Girls it will get better, I promise.

EP athletes keep up the hard work, the fall season is just around the corner!

Brief glance at our rotational work this week. This week we did wipers twice, barbell torque once and windshield wipers once. All rotational exercises were 4 sets of 8 repetitions.

Week 3 of EP Football's Summer Workouts

Week 3 of Strength and Conditioning is complete and I am regretful to say I missed three of the four days, but I had a good reason. My son was born Friday June 26th @ 10:16am. I brought my wife and son home Monday afternoon and we have been making adjustments to our daily life sense then. I have talked with the coaches that have been at the workouts everyday. Coaches have explained that our numbers have been down a little because of vacations and other obligations of the athletes. The athletes that have been coming for three straight weeks are starting to see the difference in the physical stature. EP football players have continued to work hard and make gains in the weight room. I want to give a shout out to a few female athletes that have been going toe to toe with the football players on a daily basis, and a special shout out to Jessica Ferro who comes everyday and works hard. Jessica sets a great example for all (Male/Female) younger athletes by demonstrating great effort and desire to get better each and everyday. Great job Jessica!
