Caiman Football Newsletter – August 3

Week 2: Effort

Week 2 brings the first full stretch of practices—no scrimmages, no travel, just a week to build the habits that will define us. This is where the real work begins. And it starts with one word: Effort.

Effort is the foundation of everything we do. It’s not just about running hard or finishing sprints—it’s about straining with purpose. Every rep, every drill, every lift tells your teammates and coaches who you are and what you’re willing to give.

We talk a lot about “Built Different.” Being built different isn’t a tagline. It’s the way you fight through the second hour of practice. It’s how you finish when your legs are tired. It’s how you chase a rep even when the ball isn’t coming your way. It’s how scout team guys show up with pride, knowing they’re helping build a winner.

This week, your effort will speak louder than your words. Don’t just show up—show us something. Compete in everything. Empty the tank and help your teammates do the same.

Let’s be a team known for effort. Not just when the lights are on—but every single day we put on the helmet.
