A Cool Opportunity


A few weeks ago Scott was emailed about a football camp being offered to kids of employees where he works by an NFL player and former Sooner standout. It was a "lottery" type situation so it wasn't a guaranteed thing that he'd get picked, but it was Adrian Peterson after all so we said "sign him up!"

Well - it just so happened that he got into the camp. He's never really tossed a football let alone catch one! Oh well...how bad could it be? Besides, I've heard about camps with sports stars and it's not like the kids actually get that much interaction with them. How surprised was I when AD actually kicked off the camp and did the exercises with the camp goers. Then when they put the kids into smaller groups AD went to the different drills and handed off the ball or tossed a pass. 

   


Why yes that is our boy talking with AD


And here he is setting up for a catch


Not that AD cares - but he sure made a positive impression on this mom. He also made a good impression on the boy and now he can't wait for the season to kickoff! What a positive and cool opportunity!
