ESPN: SEALs inspire Michigan seniors

I know there was a previous post about the SEAL training that took place in CA, but this is a pretty cool and in-depth story from ESPN about the lessons learned by Michigan Seniors on the trip. Great to see them growing as men and leaders.

God damn are we lucky to have a coach like Hoke, makes me proud. It really is amazing how much the players have taken after him. They 100% buy into the idea of being accountable, respectful, and having high expectations. It seems like everything Hoke teaches, they live, which makes it all the more important that Hoke puts a priority on all the right things.

COYS and lets go Detroit FC!

Hoke's messages and way of conducting himself is almost exactly like Bo.   I honestly believe he is modeling himself in Bo's image.  Still with Hoke's own style and past experiences, but with Bo's spirit.

Hoke has stated that he will never be like Bo, but he is like Bo. He's like one of his sons.  I wouldnt trade Brady Hoke for ANY coach in college football and thank the heavens we did not close on Jim or Les.  Must be so cool to meet and hang out with Seals in CA.  I think we will see a couple of more surprises before the first game kicks off.

Hoke is tough, but apparently WAY more loving as well.  The prime example is the Will Hagerup muffed snap where Brady puts him arm around Hagerup and asks him how many he's caught in a row before that drop and how he won't drop one in the next 1,000.  

That is not a Bo move right there.

Bo was much more unforgiving, He never liked to concede and inch, point, or play to the other team.  He hated it.  I'll agree with your there...but their cores are the same.  

Brady is WAY more loving...but he HATES giving inches too.  

For the record, you usually want to instill confidence in your kicker / punter since a lot of their trade is mental at times.  This is more so for this position group.  I dont think you've ever seen a coach try to "ice" the opposing teams quarterback or running back in a game deciding situation. Those time outs are usually to scan a formation. Pep talks for your kickers are vital.

And since you mentioned WG, that young man needs to return to his true form....when he was Zoltan-like.  We'll need him against Bama's running game.

This is a really telling quote from Kenny Demens, too.

 

 

Almost to a man, the Wolverines came back with identical dilemmas: They didn't really know their teammates.

"The thing I hate about leadership is you wait too late," Demens said. "Just imagine if we'd cared about each other like this as freshmen, sophomores and juniors. We'd be a dog-ass team. We'd be relentless."

 

I'd imagine class of '12 & '13 recruits won't have this problem considering how close they already are. From what Demens said, their closeness could help considerably on the field, too.

COYS and lets go Detroit FC!

Anyone interested in the Seals should read Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell.  Great book about Seal training (these players got off easy!) and a mission that went wrong.  Highly recommended.

Tri-signed.  Another book that is worth reading is "In the Company of Heros."  It isn't about Seals but is a great read nontheless.  Especially if you are into military books.

this makes me feel better about my concern of cocky recruits entering the locker room, this fall and next fall. they'll get that sucked out of them real fast.

"The Wolverines left Ann Arbor, Mich., for Detroit's Metro Airport around 5:15 a.m. CT Wednesday, and then flew through Minneapolis before arriving at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, Calif., around 11:20 a.m. PT."

 

I believe ESPN thinks Michigan is in the central timezone. Nice one, guys.

 

In other news, this trip seems like it will really give our seniors something to build on going into the year. I'm pumped.

captain of Team 133.  His performance is going to take a major leap this year, too.  

These seniors are going to find the underclassmen very receptive to a culture of positive reinforcement, communication, and genuine interest in each other.  

Bo is watching . . . and he is happy.

 

Your opinion has no value.

Most surprising part of the article to me was where Roh wanted his team to go on without him and Will said no. Shows a lot.

Had they gone on without him, they would have paid dearly. It is all about the teamwork, you don't leave anyone behind. You complete the tasks as a team, or you haven't completed the tasks.

This is learning under pressure. You absolutely learn about yourself and others while you are dead dog tired, stripped of all the other things in life and it is just you and your "team" against the obstacles. You need to reach down deep and find it in you to keep on moving...or as he said embrace the suck.

That Roundtree called him out as the MVP of their time with the seals and the description of his leadership when one of his team tired during the log drill says everything about his change of attitude and in his commitment. I have a hunch that our DL will be plenty tough up the middle this season. 

Go get em Will and Go Blue!

It's great to see that BWC is developing into a true leader mentally, but being MVP from a physical standpoint isn't surprising. He has trouble staying low, but all that athleticism didn't just disappear. Dude is still a mamoth mountain that can MOVE.

In the comment section of the ESPN article was a Youtube video with a  helmet cam vid along with a video of the SEAL obstacle course, should anyone be interested:

Very interesting leadership training.  Believing in each other is huge.

...of the Michigan leadership event? If yes, that would be a great post on its own.

You can either establish your own photo sharing account on Flickr or imgur or some other site, then link them using the Image button. If that's too daunting, recommend you email them to one of the mods who's willing to help.

yeah - I hadnt read the ESPN article when I got the pics.  I was kind of excited until I realized they're 98.3% redundant with what else was published. 

Sorry.
