From Mini-Camp to Training Camp

In cities all over America, NFL teams are conducting Mini-camps this month.  What are Mini-Camps?  They are an official opportunity for NFL teams to start preparing for the upcoming season, prior to the official Training Camp which will begin in July.  The Mini-camp is essentially a long weekend whereby both team veterans and newly drafted players can meet with coaches and begin learning new plays and strategies to be used in the upcoming season.  They take small steps, one-by-one to prepare for the weekly grind that is the NFL season.  They don’t just show up in September without any practice and expect to perform at peak level right away.

This pattern makes good sense for all of us as we prepare to play Fantasy Healthball in the upcoming season.  If you have been taking time away from recording your Health Points, perhaps allowing yourself some slack in your daily health habits, consider conducting a one week Mini-Camp to get back into the swing of it.   Perhaps you’ve been considering a new health challenge?  A mini-camp is just the ticket you need to try it out before we start up for good in September.  

Take next week and the first week of July to run as Mini-Camps for Fantasy Healthball.  Get yourself re-acclimated to scoring yourself every day.  Then during July and August, string together 3 or 4 consecutive weeks as a Training Camp or Pre-Season effort.  By the time Season Kickoff rolls around on Monday, September 7th, you will be ready to roll and you can expect to perform with good consistency right from Week 1! — Jeff Hagen
