As we enter the new season, we have an incredible team with a mix of returning top players and talented newcomers who are eager to make an impact. Eitan Newman, Ethan Gabayan, Theo Fleischman, and Shepard Johnson are all seasoned players with multiple years of experience under their belts. These players bring a level of dedication, passion, and leadership that sets them apart on the field. New this season, we have players who have proven themselves in other positions and are now stepping into new roles. Shepard Johnson, who previously played multiple positions, is now taking on the role of quarterback. While it may be a challenge for him, his adaptability and determination make him a valuable asset to the team. As for leadership, we have a strong group of captains who embody the qualities we seek in potential team leaders. Eitan Newman, Shepard Johnson, and Ethan Gabayan lead by example, put others before themselves, and communicate effectively with their team. These players possess the qualities of integrity, effort, toughness, selflessness, and passion that we believe are the pillars of a successful team. In preparing for this season, we have faced challenges as a team, especially with a short season and a young roster. However, our players have a strong bond and have shown resilience in facing these challenges. The rigors of pre-season practices have allowed our players to build chemistry and trust with each other, which will be instrumental in our success this season. Our schedule this season will bring us against tough opponents, but we are excited and looking forward to the competition. We are part of a strong and dynamic football league and will be facing two teams for the first time. This presents an exciting opportunity for our team to face the unknown and show our capabilities. Our coaches have not changed their coaching style, as we continue to invest in the person, not just the student or player. We believe in building our players' character and leadership skills, as well as their physical abilities. Our ultimate goal is to help them become not only successful athletes but also good leaders in their communities. In terms of training and conditioning, we have made small tweaks to our practice schedule to ensure more efficiency and maximize our players' time. However, our focus remains on the mental aspect of the game. We understand the challenges our players may face, and we are committed to developing their mental strength and resilience. As with any team, we have both strengths and weaknesses.
