“The biggest impression
I walked away with was the level / quality of instruction. I came to the
event with the perception this would be a competition only….simply run
drills, measure, etc. But left impressed with the depth and quality of
instruction provided in a relatively short period. Derek learned techniques
and drills throughout the day that he started incorporating into his normal
routine the day after the event.
Another positive
outcome for me as a dad was to see my son’s confidence build throughout the
day. He was quite nervous entering the day, unsure of how his skills stacked
up against a high level of competition. His confidence at the end of the
event was very high but most importantly he knows how hard he needs to work
to get even better.”

" the camp was far more than I thought it be, it was
intense! There was a great majority of competition in every drill. The drill
I found most difficult was the tennis ball drill, I never knew catching a
tennis ball would be so difficult. I learned a lot at the RT25 camp and I
plan on using the techniques I was taught thought my football years."

"I
really enjoyed the whole RT25 experience. What I learned is 'Every off day
you take it makes you that much easier to beat.'"

“Coach Collie,
Thank you for
a great day of learning and competition on Saturday. Jaden came away with a
better understanding of the receiver position and many things he can
continue to work on at home. More important, continuing to work hard each
and everyday.
The
instruction provided by you and your staff was excellent. I was impressed.
The step by step process for running routes is what Jaden needed to hear and
understand. Your opening speech was great. From the stories about your first
son to your last, the messages were real and clear.”

“ I thought that it was
a very good experience to see what I can work on to make it to the next
level. The competition at the camp gave me some insight into the amount of
skill that the northern California area had to offer. I also thought that
the drills and exercises were a good way to measure most, if not all, the
aspects that a good receiver should have.
This camp was easily
one of the more fun camps that I have been to. The drills that we did had a
dimension that I had not seen before. The gauntlet, tennis ball and jugs
machines were new training techniques that I had not used personally, but I
definitely enjoyed them and I hope to be able to use them in the future.
I appreciate the
coaching and instructions that were given throughout the day. It was direct
and specific. I have been given coaching in the past that is very vague and
not very helpful but that wasn't the case here. I felt like there was a
concensus in the group that we were all having a good time and at the same
time getting good constructive feedback. It was nice to be able to meet
different players from different areas as well. Overall I enjoyed the whole
camp and I would recommend it to any receivers that are looking for
additional coaching. Having both the Collie sons there was also a huge
positive. Getting coaching from a coach is nice but getting it from an NFL
player is more special and I believe that is one advatange the RT25 camps
have over others.
Thanks a lot for the
experience I had a great time,”
