QBR CAMP NEWS Confirmed! New Midwest QBR Camp Location: Valparaiso University in Valparaiso, Indiana has been confirmed as QBR's 2010 midwest camp location. The QBR Camp at Valparaiso is scheduled July 5th through July 8th, 2010. The 320-acre university campus is situated one hour southeast of Chicago. Dr. Hayes said, "The move was made to Valparaiso University in Indiana from Albion College in Albion, Michigan, due to public demand that QBR be more centrally located. We're excited about our new location as it will provide greater accessibility to QBR Camp throughout the midwest."

During his senior year he was awarded the Army-Scholar athlete award. Sutton was a two-year All-conference and All-State Baseball Player; it was a great way to start a life dedicated to sports excellence. Tracy graduated from the University of Central Arkansas in 1995, attending on a baseball and academic scholarship. Tracy and his wife, Karie, have two sons: Hayden, 12 and Tate, 7. Coach Sutton is in his 14th year of coaching. His first coaching job was at Rison High School, a football powerhouse in Arkansas. He then moved to his high school alma mater and is currently at Greenland High School where they have gone to the playoffs the past nine years. "I have been very fortunate to go to the playoffs every year I have been a coach. I have been very lucky to have coached great players who are coach-able. Before becoming the head football coach I coached baseball with an overall record of 142-38 that included three conference titles, five conference tourney titles, five regional titles and one state runner-up in 2001...and Conference Coach of the Year from 2003-2005," Sutton said. "I come from strong sports family background. My dad was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in 1964 but never got to play because of a car accident. My Uncle, Lonnie Sutton, was a football coach for 28 years and won two state football championships and a runner-up as a head coach. "I have been around athletics my whole life. I never had any doubt about what I wanted to be. I had numerous high school coaches who influenced my life and I wanted to have that same influence on young people. My parents were the biggest influence on me and I try my best to get students today to understand that no matter how hard their parents are on them that they are the smartest people in their lives and should listen to them. I thought I was smarter than my parents until I got to college and realized they were very intelligent! They taught me great values: God, Family, School, and Sports. "They stressed them in that order. If you keep your priorities right things will always work out. Good things happen to good people. They always taught me it is never so bad it couldn't be worse. I know I am successful because of them." Sutton started helping at QBR Camp in his first year of coaching and just finished his 13th year at camp. "I look forward to it every year," Sutton stated. "I can't believe how much better players get when you compare the first day to the last day of camp. I just finished my 2nd year as receivers coordinator and both years the coaches who are with me have done a great job of teaching the fundamentals at QBR." Coach Sutton further recommends, "I would advise any coach or parent to send their player or child to QBR Camp because of the repetitions and feedback from coaches that they receive while they are there. I’m already counting the days for my 14th year at QBR--and QBR Camp’s 46th year!" QBR CAMPER FAMILY QUOTES Dear Dr. Hayes: My 13-year old son, Nicolas, and I have been associated with football programs since he was six years old. Over the last few years, we started to focus on his skill and position. Nicolas plays quarterback and linebacker, what a combination! As we began to search for football camps, we quickly discovered there are many options all over the country. Although we live in Georgia, we chose to travel to Dallas for our first camp as it advertised that NFL players would there. The camp was fun for Nicolas and the NFL players were there--however it did not meet our expectations in regards to improving his skills. We knew we would need to find another camp for this past summer so the search continued. As we started the search, we saw camp after camp that offered what we had experienced the previous summer and we finally stumbled upon the Quarterback and Receiver Camp. After reviewing the website, thoroughly, we decided to sign up for the Georgia camp. We got exactly what we were looking for!! QBR Camp is exactly what every young quarterback or receiver needs! The boys at the camp had a chance to see that football is all about hard work! The coaches were very knowledgeable and had lots of experience. As an experienced youth coach, I not only learned some things myself but would recommend this camp to anyone. Nicolas has been able to take what he learned in camp this past summer and apply it both on and off the field. We are already making plans to attend QBR Camp this coming summer! Sincerely, Wayne Snowden TIPS FROM THE BERKELEY WELLNESS LETTER Self-Care: Don’t take antibiotics for a cold or flu. These drugs, including penicillin, are effective only against bacterial infections, such as strep throat. They can do nothing for colds or flu, which are viral infections. Fitness: Try not to run straight down a steep hill: instead, run down in a zigzag pattern, leaning slightly forward and keeping your knees bent. Or walk down it. Running downhill puts much more stress on joints and muscles in your feet and legs than running uphill. As you go down a hill, you speed up, your stride lengthens, and thus your impact with the ground increases. There’s also an increased risk of muscle soreness the next day. Food and Nutrition: Opt for 1% or nonfat milk. Low-fat milks are not created equal. A cup of 2% milk contains 5 grams of fat and thus derives 35% of its calories from fat. A cup of 1% milk contains less than 3 grams of fat and gets 22% of its calories from fat. Whole milk contains about 3.5% fat by weight, yet this fat supplies 50% of its calories. Nonfat milk, of course, has virtually no fat, and contains just as much calcium as whole milk. 2010 QBR Camp Schedule Arkansas: June 9 - 12, Georgia: June 14 - 17, California #1: June 19 - 22, New Jersey: June 30 - July 3, Indiana: July 5 - 8, California #2: July 10 - 13, This is your newsletter!
