My next blog, 3 Keys to Success, will be ready on Monday or Tuesday. I have had the rough draft done but have not made the time to finish the final revisions. I apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience. In an attempt to not leave you completely hanging, I wanted to post a quick update.
I am currently in Winston-Salem, NC working the 2010 Chris Paul Elite Guard Camp. This is always an amazing event because of how hands-on CP is. He does everything with the players here; he works out with them, he teaches them, he talks to them, he eats with them. He knows the meaning of “giving back.” Chris Paul is a class act and represents everything that is right with sports.
This year’s high school rosters boast’s nationally renowned talent such as Quinn Cook (Bowie, MD), Bradley Beal (St. Louis, MO), Jabari Brown (Oakland, CA), and PJ Hairston (Chatham, VA).
This year’s college roster might be the most talented we have ever had! Players include Duke’s Kyle Singler, Nolan Smith, and Seth Curry, North Carolina’s incoming freshman Harrison Barnes and Kendall Marshall, Connecticut’s Kemba Walker, Villanova’s Corey Fisher, Georgetown’s Chris Wright, Washington’s Isaiah Thomas, and Syracuse’ Scoop Jardine and Brandon Triche.
And of equal importance, this year’s staff is a phenomenal group, made up of many of the nation’s top high school coaches and numerous NBA personnel.
In CP’s opening statement to the players and coaches he said he wanted to stress 3 things all weekend:
· Be thankful (and humble) for this opportunity to be around great players and coaches.
· Take advantage and learn as much as possible.
· COMPETE in everything you do. When you step between the lines be ready to battle in every drill and every game.
Last night was the first workout and it was incredibly intense! The kids went hard. I will do my best to get quality video of this weekend’s workouts and post next week.
For an overview of what the CP experience is all about, please read my recap from last year’s event at http://TinyUrl.com/CP3Camp2009.
Also, if you want to see clips from my Cutting Edge Reaction, Quickness, and Agility Clinic in super-slow motion, please check out http://TinyUrl.com/SlowMotionDrills. Pay close attention to the feet in every drill.
As always, if I can ever be of service, please email me at Alan@StrongerTeam.com.
Play hard. Have fun.
