I have been working out with a new strength coach. He is making me bigger and faster, and I am working harder than ever. I will be prepared mentally and physically when preseason rolls around. Leadership is important to your success. We have a new coaching staff truly committed to winning. They have us doing a lot of new things, switching it up. The off-season work out has been awesome. There were more people working out in Green Bay more than any other time. The Packers bunch has a lot of chemistry. We have formed a lot of friendships. We have Brett Favre back again and some great looking new guys for the offense, so we are gearing up for a great season.
Last season, my numbers weren’t where I wanted to be, even though I posted my career high in tackles. I had no double digit stats. It was a tough season, and we never had the other team on the ropes, but gave it everything I got. I can say that I am proud of myself because I think that when I fell down I got right back up. Coach Sherman said to the team that we have to win the race mentality before coming in first literally. You can prepare the horse for battle, but victory begins with the Lord- any outcome I trust in God’s hands. I will just leave my very best on the field every chance I’ve got.
