Ambassador College Diary:

Today was a tough workout, but it definitely helped out a lot. Coming from Minnesota it took a while to get used to the heat, but once I did the workout was great. I threw a lot of balls and got a solid amount of reps in. I thought the coaching staff at the Academy as great. They definitely know what they’re talking and you could tell they all wanted to be here which was a plus. I really enjoyed the classroom session of today’s workout. Breaking down film the way we did was something new, but definitely helped out a lot. I learned how to break down defenses to another level compared to what I was doing before I came here. Working with the wide receivers was my favorite drill because I brought my receiver to the Academy with me. Throwing to him gave us a real life situation to work on our timing. By far the highlight of the day was watching Joe Montana effortlessly throw to a receiver 40 yards downfield and hit him perfectly. I feel like I got better throughout the day and overall did pretty well, but there are still some areas that need some work. This is a program I would recommend because you get to work with coaches who know what they’re doing and it’s also a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to getting back out here tomorrow and throwing the ball.
