Cam Shriey & Zeb Maxwell put on their Irish helmets one last time in the Illinois High School Shrine Football Game on Saturday. The Shrine Game is a benefit for Shriners Children's Hospitals. Cam and Zeb played for the Red Team alongside players nominated from all over the state.

Why Summer Coaching Is Harder Than People Think…

Because summer isn’t really a break.

It’s planning.
It’s organizing.
It’s texting.
It’s scheduling.
It’s opening the gym.

It’s finding ways to keep kids connected when school isn’t forcing them together.

It’s trying to build culture before the season ever begins.

It’s motivating athletes who would rather be at the lake, on vacation, at work, or sleeping in.

It’s balancing development and enjoyment.

Pushing them enough to grow.
Not pushing so hard they burn out.

It’s creating an environment kids want to be part of.

One where they leave practice excited to come back tomorrow.

It’s organizing team camps, leagues, workouts, fundraisers, and team-building activities while everyone else thinks you’re “off for the summer.”

It’s investing hours in a season that is still months away.

All for a chance to build something special when the season arrives.

And the truth is, summer matters.

The relationships you build now.
The standards you establish now.
The culture you create now.

Those are the things that carry teams through the difficult moments later.

So if you’re coaching this summer, don’t forget:

Make it fun.
Make it positive.
Make it something your players look forward to.

The season will bring enough pressure.

Summer should build the relationships, trust, and enthusiasm that make everything else possible.

Because great seasons are rarely built in season.

They’re built in the summer.

Good luck Coach🏆

This is not an easy task. Many Nominations. There are more teams in Class 1A and 2A, so their teams are larger.
