Took some time today and went by the high school after work and what I saw was very encouraging if you are a Colonel fan. Lots of kids not only lifting but running in the gym, some were on the track, some were working outside doing different types of speed drills and exercises.

I had heard that they have in school weight lifting and if that is true, then the Colonels will have some big numbers. Coaches are really working hard to get the kids prepared for the upcoming season and are working as hard as the kids.

Honestly there were obviously some young kids, but there were some big kids out there too. But having young kids out there is good for the future. It is also a sign that there is a lot of excitement around the program.

Spring football will be starting soon, so I expect good things. I know that some kids will not be available since they are playing other spring sports but that will only give other kids an opportunity to get reps that they might not normally get. Overall I think the Colonels are moving in the right direction at a high rate of speed.

I think there is a very positive culture around the program right now....

they do in fact have in school weight lifting with a large number of kids participating,with several more lifting after school.the future of the Colonels program is exciting and moving in the right direction for sure.
