Regards, Chris Dubek DeBartolo Sports University National Scouting Director [email protected] www.debartolosportsu.com WHAT PARENTS HAVE SAID ABOUT DEBARTOLO FOOTBALL PROGRAMS I entrusted the coaches and staff at DeBartolo Sports University to coach and teach both my boys at the quarterback position. DeBartolo Sports University’s coaches and staff have a total understanding of the game from a practical side of playing the game at a high level to being able to also translate that into teaching the fundamentals of the position. Joe Montana, NFL Hall of Fame Quarterback (Son’s Nathaniel and Nicholas Montana) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I just wanted to take a moment and thank you and the entire DeBartolo Staff and Coaches for an outstanding weekend at the Tampa Football Festival. My son Conner thoroughly enjoyed himself in all the activities that he participated in. For him to have the opportunity to work with coaches like Coach Shea, Coach Dickinson, Coach Solomon, Coach Johnson and Coach McMahon was as Conner described it, a "life-changing" experience. Being around great coaches and the older athletes puts into perspective the amount of hard work and dedication that is necessary for success. This camp definitely had an impact on Conner and it is a challenge that he wants to take head on. Thank you for the opportunity to expose him to the skills and qualities of a successful Quarterback. We look forward to other opportunities in the future with DeBartolo Sports. Best Regards, Jonathan C. Scott ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you so much for your welcoming attitude and for the experience you afforded my son Matthew. Matt has been at other camps and there was nothing that compared to the DeBartolo Academy. Besides enjoying himself, the level of instruction and commitment by your coaching staff was second to none. I'm a high school principal and a long time high school football coach. This experience was outstanding. Thank you. Jim Michaels and son Matthew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Again a big thanks for the weekend...our guys learned much and really enjoyed the hands on teaching...they talked about it the whole way home and they all wore their shirts today to school which I thought was out of respect for the camp...please keep me posted on the details for the upcoming event(s) that I can be a part of...I will be looking forward to working with the DeBartolo Team!!
