This week Kaden (my son) attended Notre Dame Football Camp, a pretty great opportunity for a seven year old! Here are five pieces of advice that I gave him.
1. Have Confidence: There is always going to be someone bigger, stronger, faster, better. Have confidence in yourself, do your thing, you also have a lot to offer!
2. Ask Questions: There are a lot of kids at the camp but you will get a chance to work with some of the best Coaches in the country. Take advantage of it and ask a question if you get the chance.
3. Listen: Listen to the Coaches, listen to the speakers, pay attention to what they are teaching you in the drills!
4. Drink Water: It’s summer, it’s hot, you may think you are not thirsty but you need to keep hydrated! Make sure you drink water before the camp, during the camp and after the camp!
5. Have Fun: Oh by the way, have a great time! Soak up this moment, do your best, get autographs, take pictures, smile and I love you!
