HIGH ALTITUDE TRAINING CAMP



RED MOUNTAIN PAYSON TRAINING CAMP 7-18-22-2011
WHAT???? "NOW A SINGING FOOTBALL COACH"

Well, it was a week off from the Recording Studio while the new song is being Post Edited. It is really going to be a professionally produced Music Video with a great message. "A PAUSE FOR THE CAUSE"

SO,,,,I traveled with the RED MOUNTAIN FOOTBALL TEAM to Payson Arizona to the High Altitude Camp. "It was a blast" Being a part of this Coaching Staff is so much Fun. I am working with the Junior Varsity Defense and assisting with the Offensive Line. The 2 most important positions on the Team. Need to have great lineman to block and open running lanes for the pretty boys and a defense that will not allow the other components to score. It keeps me around the youth and I enjoy it very much.
I have been coaching for about 11-12 years in some way and in some type of sport.


The Young people today are challenged with so much and they give it their best in the training and drills that we ask them to do. The support from the parents plays a large motivating factor for them being a successful player and team mates. Thanks to all of the parents that support these efforts and help out in any way that you can.

Football in my Family has been a big thing. In this picture Jared could not wait to put on His brothers new Helmet. We went to East valley to get his new helmet for the 2011 Season. That always gets them in the mood..(He wore it into Fillaburtos) Jared supports his brother James and James has been going to games for a long time supporting Jared, The sisters have also been to a lot of their games to cheer and support their efforts!!! It has always been a Family Activity!!!! They have been good players since they both started to play way back in FLAG...It has been a great experience to coach and be a part of the learning of HOW to play this GAME!!



It was the best thing ever to be able to volunteer and help teach the Sport of Tackle Football.







Wow, This is where it all started for me, learning to play the Sport of Football in Phoenix.
I had such a great time hitting and playing in the Games. I can still remember going to EAST HIGH in Phoenix to play our Games on Saturday Morning. I played Center on the Phoenix,
HAWKS




BACK TO PAYSON CAMP!!



This was my sleeping quarters while at Camp. No one wanted to use this Pole Vault Pad,,,So guess what Coach Hutzler did??? Slept like a champ for 4 Days. It was so much fun talking Football for 4 Days with all of the other coaches. They are a bunch of great guys that Love the Sport and enjoy teaching the young men how to become better players.




And the rains came,,,,, in the
afternoon and the boys had to run back to the Campus at the Payson High School.



It was down pouring and the boys and myself ran all the way back, it was about 1.3 miles
. By the time
we got back everyone was drenched.... They had to walk, run or jog a total of 24.3 miles in 4 days to and from the parks where we practiced. It was 3 times a day,,,it got pretty old after a while....




It was raining so hard you could not even see very well while trying to run.
This is a picture of James and a few of his friends trying to make it back to campus. Trying to keep their gear dry. It was soaking through everything.







This was the Hill that the players were to get conditioned on for the 4 days they were up there. it was not as extreme as the one the Varsity had to run but we did this hill, over and over again.

The Junior Varsity actually did run the Varsity hill one
day ,,,it was brutal. Steep and forever!!!!
