After a long day of meetings and other administrative activities, we are done with Day 1.

Day 1 is always a tough day. We are all itching to get on the field and hit the ground running, but first we have to sit through compliance meetings, fill out paperwork, and get settled in.

Now that it’s over, we can all rest up and get ready for our first practice tomorrow.

Tomorrow is also when the true camp grind begins. Starting tomorrow, every day is completely focused on football. Whether we are on the field, in the weight room, in the training room, or in the meeting room, we are eating, sleeping, and breathing football. Off time is very limited.

We are ready for this grind, because we know that we have to put in the hard work to see the results once the season rolls around.

Now that the day is over, it’s time to eat some food, relax, and get mentally prepared for tomorrow. Physically, we are all ready to go. We put in a lot of hard work over the summer, and we feel that we are bigger, faster, and stronger than ever. Now is when the mental preparation becomes vital to our success.

I hope all the Aztec fans out there are getting prepared too. Your support is a big part of our success. 27 days until the season opener!

I’ll leave everybody with this, a picture of the new 2012 SDSU football poster.
