P.S. My freind is slightly faster than me by .06 but is a DB
P.S.S. Do you know the tryout date At GSU?
ANSWER: Josh, hello!

GSU just finished the Spring Drills, but you certainly need to call Coach Hatcher tomorrow!  I've had a number of GSU and Bulldog and Yellow Jacket players in my Insurance Schools over the years.  If you do not have a resume of past football records, it will be a disadvantage until the Coaching staff sees if you have what it takes to fit their scheme.  Eagle Football is back on the Championship track again, so it would be incredible if you can get your ticket punched quickly.  They're going to win for years coming.

This new Hatch Attack offense will feature QB's that can get the ball to the WR in a hurry, with short quick passes, allowing the runner to advance the ball.  It's going to be exciting.  Even the old Eagles are roaming on the sidelines again.  If Erk Russell were alive, he would there everyday.  Come to think of it, maybe he is there everyday.

My men's baseball team won our championship last season, but have started slowly.  We were 12-3 after we started pouring Beautiful Eagle Creek Water on the Pitching mound before the game started.  We're going back to it this Sunday to break out of a 1-2 start!

Life, Sports, Business.  The mechanics are the same.  Keep your aggressive attitude strong and you will continue to be a Champion!

Keep me posted.  When you make the team, reserve a $5 ticket for me on the grassy mound.  I'll be one of your biggest fans.  

Be Awesome!

QUESTION: What should I say when i talk to him? And is it better to call or e-mail?

Answer
Josh, A personal eyeball interview is best, if possible.  A phone call would be professional first.  Your dress could influence him.  If you look professional, walk and talk like a Leader, he's likely to give you more time to discuss a role on the team.  Tell him the absolute truth about your records, any weaknesses, any injuries, etc.  He will know very soon afterward anyway.  You need to impress him with results.  

Good Leadership will separate the avearge from the Best.

Do good!
