2008 NFL HSPD National 7on7 Tournament Memoir
Welcome to my 2008 NFL HSPD National 7on7 Tournament Memoir blog. The purpose of this blog is to capture the essence of the NFL HSPD National 7on7 Tournament through video clips, photos and posts from 7on7 participants.
This years tournament will be held in New Orleans, La. hosted by the New Orleans, Saints July 10-13th. There will be 16 teams (8 NFC and 8 AFC) competing to be the NFL's 7-on-7 National Champion. Teams being represented include, from the NFC; the Giants, Redskins, Panthers, Falcons, Saints, 49ers, Seahawks, and the Vikings. The AFC teams being represented are the Patriots, Jets, Ravens, Colts, Browns, Dolphins, Texans, and Broncos.
The teams will compete over 2 days starting with round robin play followed by a single elimination tournament. Building off of the NFL's HSPD program, each day will have a character development component with round table discussions, guest speakers and break out groups.
Words of Wisdom were shared by the HSPD National Director Jerry Horowitz and Ron Hill, VP of Football Operations. Both shared their advice and guidance on how to be a successful football player and how to be a good person. The highlight of the welcome session was Zach Strief of the New Orleans Saints who provided his personal experiences of playing in the NFL and what it takes to be a well-rounded NFL player. He spoke about having the right attitude, image and motivation, all characteristics needed to make it in the NFL. The teams concluded with a character development exercise that emphasized attitude, image and motivation.
