Well, we had good news today. The Calgary Stampeders have asked Willie to come workout with them this Saturday and practice with the team. Finally he will have an opportunity to show people that he IS a professional football player.

We have had multiple Arena football teams contact us regarding his desire to play for them as well. For now, Willie will be signed to the Practice Roster. This will allow him to practice with the team and still be available for the NFL or AFL. He can also get a feel for the game and the team for him. We look forward to the opportunity for Willie to show that he not only can compete but excel at this level!

This signing season is getting hot. We have the most amount of interest in: Terrance Hunter, Andres Sandoval, Jamahl Stokes, Brian Lee, Joe Jackson, Rodney Epperson, Trayvon Lathan. We are working directly with teams in most cases from Germany, Switzerland, Argentina, UK and Hungary. Thanks to the agents who have asked us to help them get their players jobs and to the agents who are helping us place our players!

I left Pierre Darden's name off the list even though he has had interest from many teams overseas. He has a workout with the Knicks this Thursday and a few other teams have contacted us about bringing him in for workouts.

Our camp for August is getting packed although we had to cancel last months camp, there is still time to register. No doubt the economy is making travel difficult. Next year we will be having camps across the US hoping for 15 locations including: Boston, Orlando, Atlanta, Chicago, Danbury, Dallas, Toronto, Las Vegas, Charlotte, Kansas City and more.

Willie Copeland and Stevie Baggs are on standby, waiting to see how the CFL and NFL summer camps go. If someone goes down, they have both been told that clubs are interested. Also, September starts the beginning of Arena League tryouts and worst case, they will both be on a team for next Arena season. They BOTH are NFL caliber players it will happen.

Basketball has been crazy! We have 9 offers on the table. Unfortunately, we only have 6 athletes who fit the positions available. Many teams are interested in 6'10" or taller players. But we will see what happens. The players getting the most attention from overseas have been: Terrance Hunter, Andres Sandoval, Trayvon Lathan, Jamahl Stokes, Rodney Epperson, Mark Konecny and Pierre Darden. Pierre has gotten much interest from the NBA as well. We have a few opportunities in the next week to workout with some NBA teams and we believe that we will be invited to attend an NBA training camp.

I have been having a blast meeting new people and seeing old friends. SO far I have run in to Paul Mokeski, Joe Wolf, and Hal Wissel. Met Chris Mullins, Steve Kerr, numerous GM's from many NBA teams. Met with Jermane Skeete from Chris Smith Management to discuss a partnership.

Much interest (and 4 workouts) has been generated for Pierre Darden,
followed by Andre Sandoval, Rodney Epperson and Trayvon Lathan.

Tomorrow, Terrance Hunter starts the KBL pre-draft workout and I am quite confident that he will do well.

Off to bed now. More later.

Big things are happening. Pierre Darden is getting NBA looks. We should know more this week as far as the number of NBA workouts he gets.

Tremaine Dalton had GREAT workout with Eurobasket.

Scottie Donald and Trayvon Lathan are participating in the Eurobasket workout in New York.

Terrance Hunter is working out at the "Pre-Draft Camp" for the Korean Basketball League.

It's 112 degrees in Las Vegas but we are getting work done. Things start getting busy this week through September.

Lots to tell you but I need to wait until after we get the mail today. We have signed some very good players and have started intensive worldwide marketing of all of our players. I will be in Las Vegas for the National Strength and Conditioning Association's National Conference, The NBA summer league, the Korean Basketball League pre-draft tryout among other workouts.

Well we spent the better part of today upgrading the web sites (www.myathletesite.com). We added video from our last camp, we added newly signed athletes, updated profiles, added Pro teams where our athletes had last played. We also added more football athletes. Some very good ones I might add look here: http://www.aisportsmm.com/athletes.php?sport=football

For your convenience, we also separated our clients in to Football, Basketball and Coaches looking for jobs. I am extremely happy with the quality of athlete we have this year.

I will be in Las Vegas from 7/9/08 to around 7/20/08. We have an athlete in the KBL tryout, and hope to have one or two invited to the NBA Summer league. If not, we still have many camps that our players will be going to including ours AiSports Exposure Camp, the Eurobasket camps and the Pete Newell Big Man Camp.

I haven't written in awhile for too many reasons to tell you about. A brief synopsis of the last few weeks:

Willie Copeland QB Valdosta State was invited to the New York Giants and Miami Dolphin's Mini camp. Although he did not get signed, he was given a great review by QB coach Chris Palmer of the Giants who told him to stay in touch. Also the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL had called and asked about him. Unfortunately the Giant camp and the Eskimos tryout were on the same days and we did not attend the CFL tryout. They put him on the list of available QB's. This is where we are. Because of his rating, he is on the NFL radar so we need to wait it out and hope he gets a call from an NFL team in June or July. Meanwhile, He will workout at a Free Agent tryout for the Arena League so that we know he will be playing football somewhere this season. We all know he CAN play in the NFL. Like many other players, he just needs a shot.

Terrance Hunter applied to participate in the upcoming Korean Basketball League tryout. I am so proud of Terrance, he overcame the adversity of not being paid by the Atlanta Krunk, had amazing stats and is still psyched and motivated to play on the next level. He is so hard working and a special athlete that he deserves to play somewhere GREAT.

Rodney Epperson and Pierre Darden spent the last 2 weeks training with us in CT. They both gained a few pounds and will be back after the Memorial day weekend. We hope to get Pierre to 225 and Rodney to 215 by the time the scouts come to our camp. They both, along with Terrance Hunter will be at first the Ai Sports camp and will be trained by Hal Wissel the week afterwards.

Thanks to my sister for housing the athletes. You went above and beyond and I truly love and appreciate you!!!!

Willie has experienced our training regimen and is reporting that he is sleeping much more! We have him doing a hypertrophy workout to build some size and muscle mass. He is also throwing the ball but not as much as we would like. We have been working on getting some athletes from WCSU and SCSU with little success due to the spring football practices coming up.

Today we had the Newtown Bee interview Willie about the upcoming draft and workouts. The interview was conducted where we are training: CLUB NEW FIT. We intend to be training many, multi-sport athletes in the club this summer. It has a basketball court and an ample amount of free weights for speed and agility training, and building a more explosive athlete. This club allows us to train athletes all year round regardless of the weather outside so we are looking forward to using the facility to help professional and area athletes improve their performance.

This summer we will have multiple programs for area athletes and clinics with our professional athletes in basketball and football. Keep checking their site for updates!

CLUB NEW FIT

Yesterday I was on the phone for 3 hours straight. These were calls that I needed to return since the beginning of March!
