Learning from the pros: Fred Jackson football camp
Learning from the pros: Fred Jackson football camp
SEE ED SHEERAN AT 450. I MEAN, THERE’S NOTHING BETTER THAN LEARNING DIRECTLY FROM THE PROS. KIDS ACROSS IOWA TRAVELED TO ANKENY FOR SKILLS AND DRILLS WITH FORMER NFL STARS. BILLS RUNNING BACK FRED JACKSON HELD THE PROGRAM. THE COE COLLEGE STANDOUT BROUGHT 11 CELEBRITY COACHES TO HELP TEACH KIDS AGES 5 TO 17 TECHNIQUES USED IN THE NFL QB RYAN FITZPATRICK, DEFENSIVE TACKLE SPENCER JOHNSON AND RUNNING BACK PIERRE GARCON. JUST A FEW TO NAME, RAN AROUND WITH THE KIDS. THE SECOND ANNUAL CAMP BROUGHT DOUBLE THE ATHLETICISM. IT’S AMAZING. MY FIRST TIME IN IOWA, THE KIDS ARE ENERGETIC, THEY’RE YOUNG, THEY’RE ATHLETIC AND I CAN SEE WHERE ALL THE TALENT COMES FROM. A LOT OF IT WAS JUST COMPETITION AND ACCURACY, AND I’VE GOT A LOT OF KONA ICE I’VE GOT TO BUY FOR THE KIDS BECAUSE THEY WERE A LOT BETTER THAN I THOUGHT THEY’D BE. I’M GOING TO BE HERE. SO THAT’S THE GOAL, IS TO JUST KEEP DOING THIS, CONTINUE TO GROW IT. YOU KNOW, KIDS ARE GOING TO BE KIDS. SO AS LONG AS I’M ABLE TO STILL GET OUT HERE AND MOVE AROUND AND TRY AND KEEP UP WITH THEM, SEE THEM SWEATING LIKE
