Justin Blalock’s 4th Annual “UnLOCKing Potential” All Position Football Camp

Here's What Happened at the 2012 Camp ...

Saturday, June 23, 2012 was hot in more ways than one. The temperature got over 100 degrees and over 100 dedicated student athletes came to the Justin Blalock 3rd Annual Football Camp, “UnLOCKing Potential” All-Position Football Camp. They came to show what they could already do, but they also came to learn more and unLOCK their potential to excel on the football field.

This was the first year to be in the indoor athletic facility at Plano East Sr. High School. We like the change because it really helped 100 degrees feel just a little cooler!

The campers were excited to begin the stretching and drills that could help them become better players during their next football season. They watched and listened attentively to the coaches to make sure they didn’t miss anything!

The campers were taught by current and former NFL players, along with Plano High School coaches and a guest coach from Mansfield. The camp always features an academic component to it. This year, there was a workshop on the 5 Things It Will Take to Get an Athletic College Scholarship. The workshop was presented by Marcus Price, a former NFL player turned motivational speaker. Marcus played his college football at LSU. He also encouraged the campers to practice self-discipline now because no one will make them do what it takes to be a successful student athlete in college.

If you missed this year’s camp, don’t miss next year’s!

“I would like to thank you and your family, especially Justin, for one of the BEST camps ever. We’ve been to many camps. Yours was very well organized and professional. We truly appreciate the efforts of all the staff that participated. My son learned a lot today.”
--Mrs. J. Suplita

“My son LOVED it [the camp] and felt he got quality feedback from the coaches and the camp was handled very professionally. ...everyone we encountered was positive, helpful and professional. My son was very impressed and I THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT. I don't feel there are enough positive role models in professional sports these days and it's very nice to see that there are still some left. I appreciate Justin's background outlined on the website and applaud him and his parents for focusing first on education. I had my son visit the website to learn more about him.”
Thank you all so very much!
