Welcome To The 45th Year Of Quarterback and Receiver Camp!
This is the inaugural edition of "Goal Post," QBR Camp's monthly newsletter. We're excited to be able to send you information about our coaches, campers, links to useful websites, tips on nutrition and training and more.

The QBR Camp staff and coaches encourage participation of those who are new to us this year, along with those who have attended previous QBR Camps benefiting from our "best in the business" instructional program.

Numerous former QBR Campers have gone on to play college and professional football. This month we're highlighting San
Francisco 49ers' QB Alex Smith. Alex attended QBR twice while a student athlete at Helix HS in San Diego. Along with Reggie Bush, Alex helped lead the Highlanders to a California Interscholastic Federation division championship.

Smith attended the University of Utah, where he excelled in the classroom as well as on the football field--and was the first player selected in the 2005 NFL draft.

Last summer a thousand athletes from 45 states and Canada attended QBR Camps in California, New Jersey, Arkansas, Michigan and Georgia. 2009 promises to be bigger and better.

As president of QBR I'm continuing the tradition that my father began 45 years ago, making our camp the longest running
specialty camp in the country.

Nutrition Tip
The top 10 nutrition all-stars among fruits and vegetables, along with broccoli and kale, are cantaloupe, carrots, mangoes, pumpkin, red bell peppers, spinach, strawberries and sweet potato.

Fitness Tip
Warm up before stretching. Stretching cold muscles can injure them. Warming up--by jogging in place for 5 to 10 minutes, for instance--prepares you for exercise by gradually increasing your heart rate and blood flow, raising the temperature of muscles and improving muscle function. It may also decrease the chance of a sports injury.
