My time here in La Crosse is quickly coming to an end. This will be an experience that I will remember and treasure forever. I guess sometimes dream really do come true.

It's been a while since I have updated you all and for that I apologize. I have had so much stuff to do with school and football, but now I have finally found a moment to give you an update.
So what's new.... EVERYTHING IS NEW. On Thursday the Head Coach, Larry Terry, approach me at practice and told me that I will be rejoining the team from Tuesday in this coming week. Words can't explain my excitement. In the words of my Towers Qb, JR, ”It's time to do work... and catch pills!”.
First of all, I want to thank you guys for the interest. I am sorry that I have slowed down on the updates. The last part of camp was very hard for me due to a list of things...
I am dead tired today, but since this was a good day and maybe my last full day with the team, I wanted to share it with you guys.
Today I don't really know where to start with the blog. To follow a chronological order, I should be telling you guys about day 8. Obviously, time doesn't stop flying by, so we are actually on day 17. So much has happened since day 8, but let's call that 'water under the bridge'.
Two a days are on the way, so right now my schedule looks like this:
7.00: Breakfast.
I have a really hard time eating in the morning, but it is really hard to practice for 3 hours on an empty stomach, so I force feed myself yoghurt and soy chocolate milk.
We had to get up way early on the 6th day of camp. We were gathering the community around the team for a punt, kick and pass competition. It is a chance for the neighborhood to show up and rally around the team.
I started day 5 by declining to clean (225 lbs) and squat (330 lbs) and headed directly to the Athletic training room for an ice bath. 15 minutes later I put on my collegiate appparel and went out into the sun and Memorial Field, our stadium.
This morning we had to complete some of the physical test. First the team we benching max lbs and max reps with 225. Due to a dislocated shoulder last year, I am unable to bench those numbers so I simply declined to do so.
