While his first season produced only two wins, this isn’t about restoring the team for a year or two. It’s all about development and putting together a team that will continue to grow.
Success is gained in the off-season – not only by conditioning and a weight-training program but competing. Having skilled players and linemen going to events and workouts where they will compete and get better.
