Longest week on my life

Only one week from Tuesday until we kick off our training camp on 4/26, and for me I know this will be the longest week of the year. After all the workouts and the time spent in the gym getting ready to defend this title, it will be great to get back on the field with the guys.

Yeah, I still see most of the guys during the off-season and text almost all of them on a consistent basis, but it’s just not the same. Some will come and some will go, new faces will appear. Some guys will show up and surprise you on how good they are or have become. But it’s always an exciting time to get back into it running and hitting and starting from day one again. There is just something about starting all over with the basics of footwork and technique and all the little things that come along with the game of football.

What we did last season is over and in the past. It was great and to be going into this season knowing we have to bring our A game each week is an awesome feeling. As a competitor I know I want every teams best, I want to see a team prepare for weeks just to play us. That means we are the target and we will have to work just that much harder then them.

But there is nothing in the world like getting done with work in the spring, getting to practice and for two hours twice a week to put in hard work with 60 other guys you consider family (maybe you have to be apart of it to understand). But just putting the common problems in life aside for two hours and enjoy a game that you loved growing up and still love. There is no doubt about it if you’re a member of TFI you are family.

But as a team you can ask any person in our organization the goal 2010 was to win the league. The goal for the 2011 season is to win a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
