Sunday’s rainy weather may have kept the Vermont Alercio OLine Clinic in our indoor facility but it did not dampen the spirits of the 50 participants from all over the Green Mountain State.
The Vermont clinic brings an unusual situation that some might perceive as a conflict of interest but I look at as an opportunity. When I am hosting the Vermont Clinic I get to coach players from all over the state which includes those who we will be playing against in the Fall. Three of the teams on our schedule sent players on Sunday.
At the conclusion of every clinic, I share with the players that the work they did that day made them better offensive linemen which in turn makes their offensive lines better and ultimately their teams better. So why would I want to help make 3 of our opponents better? Zig Ziglar provides the answer. While attending an American Football Coaches Association Conference, I had the pleasure of hearing motivational speaker Zig Ziglar present. A quote he shared has lived with me since that day. “You will get everything you want in life, if you will help enough other people get what they want.”
