Today was another very busy day as the coaching staff continued to prepare for the start of camp on Saturday. In the morning, I helped the defensive coordinator set up position drills for the defense and also the schedule for installing the defense. During camp, it is very important to make sure the drills that are being run during practice coincide with the defense that is being installed that day. It is important because you want the players to get as many repetitions as possible so that they remember their responsibilities and can play as fast as possible.
In the afternoon, we finished passing out player equipment and shifting some players into open lockers due to some players not playing this year. Getting 172 players into a locker and making sure they have all the equipment necessary to practice is hard enough but, to have a few guys quit before the season starts, then go back through and rearrange lockers just makes things more difficult. As I have said several times throughout my mentorship, being the equipment manager is a much harder job than it looks.
We also said goodbye to an assistant coach, due to a family emergency, who has been with the program for 5 years. Sergeant Major Aldrich has been an inspiration to every player that has played for Trine since he became involved with the team in 2008 and his presence on the coaching staff will be missed.
