JARED GOES TO CAMP WITH BOB SANDERS


Jared

On Friday, I went to watch the 2nd Annual Bob Sanders Skills and Drills Football camp. Bob Sanders is a strong safety for the Indianapolis Colts. He was the 2007 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. He was born in Erie, PA, that is my hometown too. It is too bad I am only 10, because the camp was only open for high school students. But it was still fun. I have never been to anything like this before. It must have been a big deal because even a TV station from Indianapolis, Indiana came to cover the camp and interview Mr. Sanders.

The camp is 2 days. They were practicing offensive drills in the morning and then after the character building speaker they were going to do defensive drills. The next day they were going to work on special teams drills.

JaredThere were 300 high school football players invited to come to this camp. I got to watch players start to get ready for their football season. There were over 25 college and high school coaches and more than 100 other volunteer workers. I think that shows that people in Erie, PA really care about the kids. Bob Sanders said that this camp was important “to help kids find out who they are.” He said “Everything you do in life reflects who you are.” He also said it was important to be a good role model.

I got to participate in a press conference and spend some time talking to Bob Sanders. I asked him how he stays active. He said that being active is just a daily part of his life. He lifts weights. I also asked him who was the hardest person to tackle in the NFL? He said it was “Jerome Bettis, because he is big both ways”. He gestured tall and wide.
