SENECA FOOTBALL NEWSLETTER 2018

The greatest thing about being a head coach

is getting a 14 year old boy who comes in as a

Freshman and watching him turn into a young

man over the 4 years he is your program.

The hardest part is saying goodbye. We did

just that at our 14th Annual End of Season Ban-

quet. These 15 young men, as I have told

them a bunch of times, DID IT RIGHT! They

were hard workers, listened to coaches, got it

done in the weight room, are leaders in our

school and community, showed up ready to

go every Monday no matter what Friday’s

outcome was, reached our goal of getting into

the playoffs, believed in our Seneca Football

Family and made me proud every single day.

I love these guys and I wish them luck as they

go and get ready for the rest of their lives!

They all are going to have huge success in

what ever they decide to do!

2018 Seneca Football Schedule

Playing At Next Level

The College Recruiting Process I get asked a lot of what to do (as a parent) when it comes to getting into college and playing a sport. Here are some things:

1. Grades #1, many kids who have the potential miss out because they don’t meet the Universi-ties requirements with GPA in Core Courses & SAT/ACT Scores.

2. Get great at what you do. You have to stand out. Work hard, practice, lift, speed, size, ex-plosive power.

3. Get Recognized—HUDL—we send film out of every player who wants to play at the next lev-el. Hudl is how we video games, make high-lights & send to recruiters. You have to show you can play at their level on film.

4. Visit with Coaches: we have about 40 Colleges come to Seneca & talk with our kids at the end of every season. Colleges that range from Pitt, Rutgers & Temple to TCNJ & Rowan. Most of the schools to the right come every year looking for players.

5. GO TO A HS COMBINE—now a days how kids do at a combine (40 times, Vertical Leaps, Agility etc.) can help get you recognized before the start of a season!

Seneca Football will be holding its Summer Football Camp

July 9th thru 12th. This will be our 14th one—time sure does fly. This camp is a full football instructional camp, our

goal is to get every one a little bet-ter at the techniques and funda-

mentals that deal with Football! It is also a great springboard to the

season that will be less then a month away when the camp is

over. We also incorporate Speed & Explosive Power Exercises &

Drills. We will have an instructor teaching all kids proper form run-

ning & speed techniques.

Now until April 1st we are running an “Early Bird Special” - if you

register before April 1 you will get $25 off.

Sorry if you are not an Eagles Fan :) If you are what

a memory that was made for all of us! I got to

make that memory with my wife, my kids, my

mom & dad, my sister, my niece, my dogs and

some of my closest friends!

Freshman Strength & Speed Program in March. Locking down the dates now

more info to come!

Last year was a huge success! Great Sponsors over 100 Golfers—we want to make it Bigger & Better in’18

I have been truly blessed— the opportunity I got 15years ago to

come to Seneca and be the HFC has turned out to be way more

fortunate then I ever expected! Not only have I had the oppor-

tunity to coach some “GREAT KIDS” - but the parents have been

just as awesome. Your support of me, my family and what I try

to do year in & year out with your boys is greatly appreciated!

OK—now I have a request!

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!
