QUESTIONS FOR COACH JACKSON-

Coach tell us a little bit about this NFL Camp.  Why is the NFL doing the camp and what can kids expect to learn who attend?

Dirk, the NFL, has been running it’s Player Development camps all over the country but the East coast has had more exposure.  The NFL, and it’s sponsor the National Guard, have Player Development camps to address the challenges facing high school football programs across the country.  The camp begins with a character development phase, just like the NFL’s rookie symposium.  Various topics are covered from NCAA requirements, concussion safety, social media, time management and excellence in their communities.  Obviously there is the athletic skill development after the first day.  I would expect a athlete would gain a lot of information and be the catalytic agent at his/her school to enhance their program.

Who will be Coaching the kids?   

Because of the Oregon HS rule of two, Oregon HS coaches can’t coach at the camp but we have recruited some fine coaches from the area.  Coach Chris Casey and his staff from George Fox, Coach Sulages from Lewis and Clark and his group,  Phil Rombach from Linfield,  Stacy Collins( former PSU special teams coord) is coming back to help,  John Charles ,  Damon Griffin,  Torey Hunter ( former E.Wash and Idaho coach), to say the least.  Great mentors, detailed coaches that will improve each athlete’s skill level.

The camp is Free– that is pretty great!  How did you yourself get involved in this Camp and what are some goals you have for the first year of the event?

 The best thing about the camp,  IT’S FREE, and the athletes get plenty of Nike gear.  Athlete’s need to register now because we don’t have a ton of space.  Parkrose HS in particular, Athletic Director Dave Richardson, have done a great job prepping for this event.
Goals:  We want to give back to our community.  Have the athlete feel they have learned something they can take back to their school.  We want ENERGY! This is PORTLAND!  We want a very positive camp that suggests the NFL should be here every year.
When an athlete leaves this Camp what would you expect for them to leave knowing that they might not have known on the way in the door?
Anytime you have the NFL and National Guard behind a program, you’re going to get a first class event.  From the character development which I said is a mini rookie symposium, getting QUESTIONS ANSWERED from NCAA eligibility, recruiting, leadership, social media,the information is priceless.   Each athlete is given a NFL daily planner, therefore the methods of time management they learn can be applied everyday.
The on the field coaching and the community strengthening events we will have with the National Guard will give a sense of pride.  But the quality of the coaching, and the emphasis on techniques, that will make allow you to become more competitive and success is key.  Answering why I need to open my hips, why I need to run the proper way, why is balance and posture important.  And the fact this is covered over four nights will make these athletes better.
Thanks Coach-  Wow the kids will get NFL level instruction, Free stuff, have College Coaches Present and guys like you and all these former NFL and College guys there too!  It’s a no brainer.
