Stinson Says #3 - No Pain No Gain
August 21, 2008 - Well it’s the end of day three. We have survived the fitness testing and are fully immersed in camp. We are in the middle of two-a-days and it’s a real test of courage, determination and heart. Camp is testing everyone mentally and physically.
I tell you, it’s not easy waking up to a room of over-grown testosterone-filled men, who are sleep deprived and hungry, and try to convince them that running around in the heat is a good idea!
As our special teams coach, Keith Costello, told us - everything we do this year is with a purpose.
Some have quit and some have made excuses not to participate, but this camp is designed to eliminate those individuals. It’s designed to challenge and push those who want it and get rid of those who don’t have what it takes to be a Varsity Blue.
This is bringing our team closer together and pushing us to places we have never been.
On the field it’s a whole new team. We have guys competing for spots, guys who have stepped up to the challenge of the new coaching staff and we, as a team, are working harder than ever.
Within two short days we are looking crisp and ready to go. We are off to a great start!
Until next time – Go Blues!
