On to day two of camp.  After breakfast, we had a quick team meeting and then freshmen had to do their run test.  For most of them, it was a wake up call and a welcome to college football.  After the run test, players were able to rest up for a little bit and then they had their first practice.  The practice seemed like it took forever because coaches had to stop after every play to coach a player and teach them the proper technique.  After practice, the players had some down time until lunch and coaches reviewed film from the freshmen practice.  
    After lunch, we had a team meeting concerning social media that was very informative and should help our team stay out of any trouble when using any of the social media sites.  
    The upper classmen had their run test in the afternoon and did a fairly good job.  After they were able to rest, we went right into practice.  This time, practice flew by and the tempo was much better.  It was nice to be able to coach guys that knew what they were doing and only had to be told once what was needed to correct the problem.  
    We then had dinner and then position meetings after.  We reviewed film with the players and installed a couple more parts of our defense.  After position meetings, it was off to another team meeting where we discussed the schedule for tomorrow and Coach Land talked about himself and one of the seniors talked to the team.  We had one more position meeting to watch more film and then players were dismissed for the night.  
    In the past 48 hours, I have realized time management is going to be very crucial if I am going to juggle work, football, and school.  I am also going to have to adapt to only getting a few hours of sleep each night due to being so busy.  In order to stay motivated, I just have to remember that this is what I have been working hard for and in the end all the hard work will pay off.
