It's Got My Name On It

Hello again everyone on weplay.
For all the new people who just joined, welcome aboard. I think you're going to find that you're going to really like it here. Not only have I been blogging here for awhile now and posted a bunch of stuff from when I was a kid playing football, but so have Peyton Manning, Derek Jeter, LeBron James, Summer Sanders and a bunch of other top top athletes.
So you may have seen this thing we're doing now with Pop Warner and weplay - for football teams AND cheer squads who've signed up and created their groups. It's called Alexander's Greats. I'm really excited about it because it's my first chance to really get to know people on the site on a more specific basis.

After the end of the season, we're going to pick out one team, the best Pop Warner football team on all of weplay, and I'm going to travel to your town and hang out with you.... Maybe we'll run some plays, talk about the game and just chill.
For the cheerleaders, you've got a chance to win money for your team - for new uniforms or gear or even for traveling to those competitions we see on ESPN or whatever.
As for me, right now I'm just waiting for the chance to get back out on the field. But I'll tell you this, I'm in as good shape as I've been in years. In preparing for past seasons, I'd always trained a little bit with my team and a little bit on my own, either at the University of Alabama, U of Washington or elsewhere. I've had some great coaches around me for my entire life when it comes to training, so this past summer wasn't any different from any of past 8 years. I didn't go into a team facility to work-out and train, but it doesn't really matter where I'm working, as long as I'm doing the right things and surrounding myself with people who are hungry.
I've always trained like that, with people who might be more hungry than talented. Hunger is something you always need to have, that passion for the game. So I've always stuck to that. My routine, over the entire year, is usually two days of stronger running, two days of stronger lifting, though I do run every day, along with the push-ups and sit ups every day. There might be one week with three days of heavier running or lifting, but I try and keep it balanced.
In the meantime, I'm enjoying the bonus time with my family. Hope you all are doing well, working hard and having fun.
Talk to you,
