Advice to the class of 2024 playing D2/D3 ball in the fall.
1) Enjoy the last few days of your senior year. Enjoy your HS friends, it will never be the same after this year.
2) Do not underestimate the program you are joining. D2/D3 football is the truth. Once August comes it will be the hardest thing you have ever gone through. You will be competing against 22-23 year old grow-ups.
3) RUN, RUN,RUN.
Follow the running program and position drills you have been given by your coaches.
(Ladder drills and running long distance don’t help you play football.)
4) Respond to text messages and emails. Make a good first impression with your Coaches, trainers and the compliance officer.
5) Stay on top of your paperwork. Nothing says “I don’t care” more than being the kid on the sideline cause he didn’t do his paperwork.
6) Join zoom meetings if they are offered. Learn the Offense/Defense and have your video on during all presentations!
7) Don’t think you know it all. Ask friends who went to training camp as freshmen last year for tips.
8) Notice I didn’t mention lifting. Everyone does this. You must run as much as you are lifting!
Bottom Line 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
1️⃣ Do whatever everyone else does better.
2️⃣ Do what others refuse to do to be great.
Good luck in 2024‼️
