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

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

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

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

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

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

All true but PG is a bad example…

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

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

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