Get all excited from the look of our players in drills and workouts before pads, then first day of pads comes and we look like {censored} on a stick. Quick, somebody remind me it gets better.

lol.. First few practices in pads always look bad. Add in the 100 degree heat just to make things rougher...

Yeah that's what kinda got me. In shells this week as a heat acclimation measure and it's gray clouds, light breeze, and upper 70's temps and they still tried to take reps off.

Good lord, what kind of equipment are you putting your kids in?? Our equipment, fully loaded, is about 5 or 6 pounds. I can't imagine what you could possibly put on a kid that would be legal equipment that would weigh anywhere near that much, lol. Seriously, I get that you were exaggerating, but that was a bit over the top. Anyway, your point is well taken - even a few extra pounds, and the restrictions to movement they cause can make your players look far worse than they really are for a few days until they get used to it. |

Establish expectations and hold them accountable right from the get go. Set the tone.
