Miami Dolphins Host Glades Central Community High School at Minicamp Practice
Davie, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins today hosted the Glades Central Community High School football team at their Minicamp practice. The team was given a tour of the Baptist Health Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University and heard from Miami Dolphins General Manager Chris Grier about enjoying their high school football experience and challenging themselves on and off the field to reach their goals.
The Glades Central football team also had the opportunity to watch the Dolphins practice and meet with current players on the field. Following practice, the athletes had lunch provided by Publix.
“I’m extremely honored to have our guys come down and watch the Dolphins just to see how professionals practice and the tempo of practice,” Glades Central Community High School Head Football Coach Jessie Hester said. “It was awesome for our kids to hear from the leader of an organization about what it takes to make it here, all the pitfalls to avoid. Those kids learned some really valuable lessons today.”
“I was excited to see Ryan Tannehill, his footwork. I saw his three-step drop, five-step drop and his release and high pointing the ball,” Glades Central Community High School junior quarterback Davius Richard said. “What I took from Grier is nothing is easy, but it’s possible. Nobody has limitations, so whatever you want, strive for it.”
