Linebackers push, shove, and power through their opponents with one objective: get the ball. Whether that means tackling the running back or sacking the quarterback, linebackers play a pivotal role in a team’s success. All-Pro Brian Orakpo, of the Washington Redskins, understands what it takes to be successful in the NFL and brings this skill set when he mentors young players at the Brian Orakpo Football Camp.
Possessing a strong work ethic and high aspirations became the driving force for Orakpo’s success and it’s this same mentality that he hopes to develop in young players at his summer Sports International football camp at George Mason University.
“Kids have the opportunity to learn from the best in football technique, footwork, and certain skill sets for different positions on the football field,” stated Orakpo. “Kids have a chance to interact and ask questions to their favorite NFL players during all of Sports International’s football camps.”
While growing up he attended many summer football camps and learned the importance of this training for his development as a player and person. It gave him the opportunity to learn from experienced players that performed at elite levels. Orakpo states that this opportunity gave him an edge on the field against other kids.
“Always believe in your abilities and never get discouraged when adversity comes,” stated Orakpo. “Listen to the right people you have in your life to guide you through tough and challenging obstacles in life or out on the field. Also, I feel the most important thing to remember when playing football is to always HAVE FUN! Football is still a game and never lose site of that while playing.”
