<\/a>Lichtensteiger is a Crestview High School and Bowling Green State University graduate and now plays in the National Football League as the starting center for the Washington Redskins. He returns to northwest Ohio on June 27 to produce a Division I caliber camp accessible to a highly talented, yet under recruited area.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see a great need for a local camp that provides both top quality instruction as well as exposure to college coaches of all levels,\u201d Lichtensteiger said. \u201cI have been fortunate enough to play for great coaches and meet some very knowledgeable football minds.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have asked many of these coaches to come and work the camp this year,\u201d he added. \u201cI think you will be impressed when you see who you will get a chance to work with when you come to this camp.\u201d<\/p>\n
Campers will gain exposure and get instruction courtesy of coaches from many NCAA Division I coaches, NCAA Division II universities, as well as NAIA universities, and many NCAA Division III colleges and universities as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cCollege coaches are looking for athletes that can make it to the next level and this camp allows them to see the athletes up close,\u201d Lichtensteiger noted. \u201cQuality athletes from northwest Ohio are sometimes overlooked because of the lack of exposure and ability to get in front of the right people. These coaches are looking for those athletes to come to this camp and be seen by great college recruiters.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my high school career I had to run the gauntlet of camps, but now I am fortunate enough to have the coaches come to northwest Ohio\u2019s backyard and the athletes are able to stay close to home and receive better exposure then many camps around.\u201d Lichtensteiger added.<\/p>\n
Along with the college coaches that will be in attendance, this camp brings the ability for campers to directly interact with current players from very competitive NCAA Division I universities, including running backs, quarterbacks, offensive linemen and wide receivers.<\/p>\n
The featured camp guest again this year will be Washington Redskins Strength and Conditioning Coach Chad Englehart. He brings with him secrets of the NFL Combine and a knowledge base for body development that will improve an athlete\u2019s performance at any level.<\/p>\n
He will emphasize football specific speed and strength training as well as drills that include the campers\u2019 40 time, Pro Shuttle, L Cone Drill, and best of all learn how to decrease an athlete\u2019s 40 time by two-tenths of a second.<\/p>\n
\u201cChad works with me on a daily basis and I have nothing but the upmost respect for his ability to put physically fit bodies on the field that are ready to perform at the highest level,\u201d said Lichtensteiger of Englehart. \u201cHe will bring great knowledge to this camp and offer these campers something unique and instantly influential to these athletes\u2019 play on and off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
