It was great having one of my best friends from Punahou school Coach Mark Campbell from Idaho State University come out this past Sunday and coach our kids. Coach Campbell is the strength and conditioning coach at ISU. The kids and the coaches learned a tremendous amount about power, speed, and agility. We came away with some cutting edge drills that the kids and school can use. There was also some interest from Coach Campbell on a couple of our kids that might possibly be able to play for ISU in the near future if everything works out. We are very thankful for the time that we had and look forward to him coming back next year.
Here is some of Coach Cambells credentials from the ISU website:
Coach Campbell has been a strength and conditioning coach for 21 years. He has 9 national certifications and has trained athletes of all ages and all sports. Coach Campbell was the defensive player of the year at Idaho State his senior year and tried out for the NFL and CFL. He started his career teaching coaching and training in Hawaii at Punahou High School. He then started his first personal training company. Coach Campbell’s clients included a Miss Hawaii winner, miss USA winner, miss universe winner, 2 NBA all-stars, 3 NFL all-pros, and many of his high school clients have earned college scholarships. Coach Campbell moved back to Pocatello in 1997 and joined Idaho State University in 2005. He became the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach in 2007.
Aloha,
Coach Chris

Coach Chad Owens left for the Mainland earlier this week to train and hopefully get another opportunity to play in the NFL. If everything goes well, it will be exciting to see Coach Chad play on Sundays! He is a great role model for hard work and dedication, just seeing him play again will be inspiring for the kids in Hawaii who aspire to play football in pop warner, high school, college and beyond. Coach Chad taught his last class (for now) this past Saturday and he plans on coming back July. Good luck Coach Chad, you have gone so far to live your dream!

Colt Brennan of the Washington Redskins was our special guest during yesterday’s classes. He spoke out to the Na Koa and Ali’i classes and gave an inspiring message to the students. Colt played quarterback for the University of Hawaii from 2005-2007. He led the Warriors to a perfect 12-0 season record in 2007 and an appearance in the BCS Sugar Bowl. He was also a Heisman trophy finalist during that year. Colt was drafted by the Washington Redskins in the 2008 NFL draft in the sixth round.
Coach Chad, the staff and a handful of HFS students were at the GAR Expo on February 14. It was a fun time for HFS to showcase an excited crowd what HFS is all about. Congratulations to Matthew Mendoza for participating and winning the obstacle course contest! Special mahalo to Carole Kai and the Great Aloha Run committee for having HFS at the GAR Expo and their donation to Hawaii Football School.
