Coach's BARK...Listen up...
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Well, the team has now had a tryout and one workout and thought I would sit down, compose some thoughts on the process and share with anybody who cares to read this how the Dawg football team is coming together. In doing this, I shared with Kellie, our owner, how great this could be to any of our fans who want to get an inside look at the team. Thankfully, she thought it would be a great idea.
The tryouts were successful. We had a decent turn out of new guys and, from speaking with the other coaches, several gentlemen who could make an impact. We had 1 returning player who missed last year come back and he will make a big impact! We also had several returning players come to get in on the fun and start the process of trying to win that elusive championship. Thankfully, it appears they have been working out for a while.
After the first workout, practice, one thing has become blatantly obvious to me. Wanting to win the championship and doing the work to win it are 2 different things. We need to get more veterans to these workouts so we can get more work in, timing down, and cover all the little things. We have been successful the past few years, but we need to get over the hump and close the deal. That can only happen with the hard work right now. It isn't fun, but ever so important. Not many people like the Cyclones, the defending 2 time champions, but I'm sure they have been working for a while now. Some of these semi-pro teams work year round. I believe all players need the break, but when it is time to work, it is time to work.
We put in some decent conditioning this past weekend. Even had someone puke, which is never a bad thing. Out with the bad, in with the good. Coach B, former head coach of the Dawgs, has offered to work with the linemen and work them he did. Bob and Bobby got some good work in with the linebackers and really worked spacing and reading to put people in the right positions. Offensively, we've got a LONG ways to go. It is always tough this time of year to do much with no pads on and everyone wanting to get after it. With so many new faces and retooling what we do offensively will not be such a quick process.
Hopefully we get some more veterans to the building this Saturday. Looking forward to practice and speaking with those that have come to watch. It takes a special kind of man to jump in this game for the love of it. I think those people watch thinking "they are crazy!" I watch these guys thinking "I admire you...whether you make the team or not, I admire you."
Have a good week!
