He has private conditioning coach, private position coach, private speed coach. He's at camps most of the summer when the team isn't going 7 on 7s with other programs. The problem is, he loves every second of it. The dual sport guys are just as nuts. HS football is a year round sport unlike when Grandpa played 50 years ago. And now my grandson has discovered golf so when it's not football, he is zeroed in on golf.
