In the realm of youth sports development, there's nothing quite as impactful as witnessing young athletes learn firsthand from the professional athletes they admire. This summer, the collaboration between D1 Training and FlexWork Sports has made these moments possible and set a new standard for mentorship and athletic development across the country.
D1 Training General Manager, Keith Barnes, shared his enthusiasm after participating in several camps this summer. He and his teams from D1 Training locations in Houston, Texas, collaborated with other D1 Training locations in the area to deliver exceptional experiences. "The D1 locations in Houston loved being involved in the FlexWork Sports camps," said Barnes, who oversees D1 Training Sugarland and D1 Training The Woodlands. "Houston Texans players Nico Collins and CJ Stroud were incredibly engaging with the athletes during their two camps. We were honored to contribute to the training of over 1,000 local athletes. We can't wait for the next one."
The presence of professional athletes at these camps goes beyond inspiration; it fosters motivation among young athletes. By interacting directly with their sports heroes, camp attendees gain insights to the mindset and dedication required to excel in sports at the highest levels.
