Yes, but if he's more consistent or has more length on his kicks than the

They are probably having some sort of Spring practice right now, have him jump

Unfortunately we are moving, so he won’t be able to for a few months

Can he lift at his current school? Any friends on the team?

BYUtka

Not sure, no friends on FB team that I know of

dingus79

Gotcha. Lift and work on speed agility 4x/wk. Don’t need to spend money, a lot

palangi

Talk to the head coach, get involed with spring football (if his school has it), start 7s as

Contact will be the area with the steepest learning curve

Apr 17, 8:42am

Nows the time to show his stuff. I did the exact thing. Came in junior year and

In most area's HS football never stops... get him involved now.

What makes this whole thing tricky is that we are moving from our state in about two months

dingus79

Try calling up the coach. Ask for a playbook and their S&C program

I’d contact the coach now, get the calendar for the year

palangi

This. Get in the mix now. I would even think about flying him out for workouts.

I would get him lifting weights and running right now..

Wow, great story

dingus79

and....we don't know which school yet because we are trying to find a house in this nutty market

All true but PG is a bad example…

Cougstreak

Apr 17, 5:42pm

So if kids transfer into PG, there is lots of opportunity this next season?

For sure!

Cougstreak

Yep- program gutted and mess. Dead fish rots from the head. Sad.

J. Walter Weatherman

Apr 17, 11:41pm

For sure. The football HC doesn’t have many fans and everyone leaves. Very sad, so much potential

Are there "Real" issues with him, or is it just standard change of leadership

We just don't know what high school yet, I'm gonna have him lift and maybe attend the kicking camp in SLC in June, then

dingus79

Apr 17, 11:08am

If he's not involved in summer 7v7, he'll face long odds to get on the field...

Apr 17, 3:03pm

It will be difficult, but that’s not all bad. He needs to get involved now.

Definitely needs to work on both, but especially strength
