On Friday morning, December 13th, a short meeting was held to share with the football team members that were present. The team members that attended the meeting were informed that I have been removed as head football coach at Hampton. This information was revealed to me a couple weeks after the completion of our season but I was asked to not disclose this information until this time. I felt it was only right the players be informed first but I felt that it may also be valuable to post something to my football blog to inform those that have read and follow this blog. There will likely be one more post to come down the road after the holidays before this blog is removed.
Thanks,
Joel R. Miller

Season Wrap-Up information 10/28/13
It has been a while since I've posted and I apologize for my absence. With the increase in FFA contest activity as well as the government shut-down put a few more things on my place and some priorities had to be adjusted.
First of all, I"m very proud of the efforts of the young men as we completed the remainder of the season. The season may not have produced a lot of victories on the scoreboard, but a lot of improvements were made throughout the year and some individual students-athletes were thrown in to various situations and had to learn on the fly. I will likely post more later but I wanted to relay some information right away.
We will be having a meeting after school today in the Ag room to cover a few of these topics. One of the things that will be discussed include equipment check-in. I would like to get as much checked in this week as possible. One of the things that will help make check-in go smoothly, please bring ALL of your equipment at one time for check-in. It makes it a challenge for us as coaches if someone brings us their helmet one day, 1 knee pad the next, one jersey, etc. Please gather all the equipment so that we can get everything checked off at one time.
Upcoming posts will include Hudl usage, obtaining copies of films, highlights, off-season work-out requests.
Have a great day and thanks for all of the support from parents and others during the season.

Nebraska Lutheran Week: Schedule Changes, Thank You's, and Moving On
As I sit here on Sunday night, I have just a few items that I wanted to post for parents, players and supporters of the Hampton Football Program. My last post got a little bit lengthy so I'll do my best to get right to the point.
Schedule Changes:
This week presents quite a few challenges to work around. Many of which are out of my control. First of all, the Junior High Football team gets to play its first home game of the season on Monday. Due to the fact that it takes a little bit more man-power to host a JH game, many of the varsity players will be asked to help out with the game by running the clock, being chain-gang, water boys, etc. we will not be able to start our varsity practice until after the game gets over. I'm hoping that it will conclude around 5 or 5:15. Those players that are not helping should be able to stay and get help with schoolwork after school and possibly complete their homework. My goal is to have most varsity players dressed and ready to go for practice at 5:00. They will get warmed up, stretched, and ready to go on their own so that when the coaches complete their work with the JH game, we can get right to practice. Practice will be shortened some as we will have to shuffle some things around and deviate from our normal weekly routine.
Tuesday should be more like a "normal" day with practice right after school starting at 4.
Wednesday is a 2:00 dismissal due to Parent-Teacher Conferences going from 4-9pm. We will start practice as soon as the boys get dressed out after school and Coach Klute will finish the last part of practice while Coach Ediger and myself prepare for conferences. I'm looking forward to visiting with as many parents as possible during conferences about your son's work in my classroom.
There is no school Thursday due to all day teacher inservice. we will begin our pre-game practice routine at the normal time of 4 on Thursday.
Friday we will take on Nebraska Lutheran at 7pm in Hampton. Please come and show your support to these young men that continue each week to improve themselves and make the Hampton Hawks even better.
Thank You's
I wanted to share out that I really appreciate the positive comments that I got from different parents last week concerning some of the issues that I had to deal with. I appreciate your support and hope to continue to provide a program with rules and structure to help these young men to grow, learn from their mistakes, and mature. My hope is to be fair and consistent in all of my decisions.
Moving On:
As I told the team after the loss at Meridian, that was not the direction I expected that game to go. I think each game (win or lose) provides our team an opportunity to get better. There is nothing we can do about the past outcomes of games but we can learn from our past to improve our future. Nebraska Lutheran will be another quality opponent which we must respect. We as a team have to also believer in ourselves to be a quality team, work hard this week, listen to the coaching staff as they build a game plan and above all, execute for 4 quarters on Friday night.
Life is not always fair. Those that are able to handle adversity will rise to the top in life and be successful.

Meridian Week Thoughts: Be a STUDENT-athlete!
So far, this season has been a challenging one. In fact, each season is a challenging one as they all create different obstacles and hurdles along the way. That is one of the joys of teaching and coaching is that there is always something different to try and conquer each and every day.
As I write this, I think of the challenges facing this football team this week. Things like:
Injuries
Number of FB players on the down-list
Members of the football team misbehaving in the classroom.
At the end of each practice, I always try and provide announcements on upcoming events, bus departure times, encouragement to ice, stretch and see the trainer, etc. Many times, I stress the importance of being a STUDENT Athlete. This week, it seems to be a continuous speech. Our football team has got to understand that STUDENT comes before Athlete for a reason. Students just need to do the following:
1. Show up for Class on Time!
2. Sit down and listen to the teacher whether you like them or not and do what they say
3. Don't screw around with other classmates verbally or physically in class
4. Make sure to record ALL assignments and complete them by the due date.
5. Ask for help from the teacher when you begin to struggle in the class, don't wait till its too late!
These seem like 5 simple rules to follow. Teachers are in a position to help students learn. Students have to do their part in order for learning to happen. Members of a team, need to do their part to make sure all members of the team are getting to class on time, listening, completing homework, etc.
This past week, I have had conversations with multiple parents concerning students' grades and their ability to participate in the sport of Football. I've also had conversations with parents concerning classroom behavior issues which have lead to suspensions from this Friday's game. I've learned that coaching is about a lot more then designing X's and O's and scouting opponents films and that has rang true this week. Coaching provides me an opportunity and a platform in which to help STUDENT Athletes grow. Sometimes the lessons are hard and difficult to enforce but needed for the well-being of not just the reputation of the program, but the betterment of the individual football player.
For those parents that read this, please visit with your STUDENT Athlete and encourage them to follow those 5 simple steps to have success in the classroom. Success in the classroom will lead to success on the athletic fields and ultimately ensure that your child will be successful in life.
For those STUDENT Athletes that read this, please do the following so I can see you on the field on Friday nights with your teammates!
1. Show up for Class on Time!
2. Sit down and listen to the teacher whether you like them or not and do what they say
3. Don't screw around with other classmates verbally or physically in class
4. Make sure to record ALL assignments and complete them by the due date.
5. Ask for help from the teacher when you begin to struggle in the class, don't wait till its too late!

9/8/13 - The Start of Giltner Week!
Hawks and friends of the Hawks,
A lot has happened since I last blogged. I'll do my best to consolidate my thoughts but still get some things that need to be covered.
Shelton Game Comments: It was good to get a game under our belts. The outcome was not was everyone was hoping for. First and foremost, Shelton has a very good team with lots of numbers. They were a team that made it very deep into the playoffs last year and likely will again. Even though the score was not a good indicator of this, the Hawks showed improvements in many areas from a year ago. When the offense was able to execute, it can be very explosive very quickly. The defense was in the correct positions (especially after half) but we were just not able to make tackles. Last year after game #1 our offense was not "fluid" at all and defensively we just could not even get close enough to tackle. Improvement is there and that shows a lot of promise of good things to come during the season.
Some concerns that I saw from this game include execution and not just for the first 1-2 seconds of each play but maintaining effort/execution for the duration of the play. Don't quit until the whistle blows.
Staying Healthy: For the betterment of our program, its important that every player does everything that they can to stay healthy. After the Shelton game, we had some guys that took a beating playing both ways for an entire game. Hopefully they took the coaches advice and either went to physical therapy in Aurora Saturday morning at 7 AM or stretched and iced as much as possible over the weekend. We need each player as close to 100% for each practice during the week. My hope is to have all bodies "on deck" for every practice.
We have a PT guy (Jordan) that comes to Hampton on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and will evaluate our athletes free of charge. Also student athletes can receive free evaluations by going to the Memorial Health Physical Therapy offices in Aurora West of the hospital. If you get to Aurora by 7 AM M-F, they will get you in, get you treatment and get you out so you can still get to school on time. Please take advantage of these free sources. They have been very good to us and kept many of our athletes able to go when otherwise they probably wouldn't be able to.
PLEAE INFORM THE COACHES OF ANY INJURIES THAT YOU MAY HAVE SO THEY CAN HELP YOU PROCEED WITH TREATMENT!
Links to pages: I'm placed a new "widget" on the blog. On the right had side, I've listed three links to places that likely would interest members/viewers on the blog. If there are other links that you would like to see added to this list, please let me know and I"ll add them.
Stay tuned for more but out of time for now.

DRINK WATER, DRINK WATER, DRINK WATER
As we start this week of practice, please make sure that you as an athlete are drinking lots of water. Practice temps will be HOT. There will be plenty of water breaks during practice but in order to avoid dehydration, student-athletes need to do more then just drink water during practice, they need to be drinking water throughout the day and at night. They may cause more frequent trips to the bathroom but I think most would prefer an extra trip or two to the bathroom then a trip to the hospital.
Avoid energy drinks! Most energy drinks actually deplete your system the necessary water needed to stay healthy and active. Even sports drinks used in excess can get harmful. Having some gatorade after a workout is ok, but once your heart rate returns to normal (resting) levels, water is the recommended fluid intake.

Week #2: Football Preseason
It is already the 2nd week of practice for the team and there have been some positives that are being seen by the coaching staff. The team seems to be a lot more comfortable this year with our offense. After revamping our entire offense last season, many of the upperclassmen have a good handle on it and are working with the young group to bring them a long. Also, team unity seems to be growing as this group spends more and more time together. Those will be some key components to our success this year.
Some areas that still need some work include: defense (tackling and alignment), conditioning, special teams, and leadership.
Upcoming events: We are still a couple weeks away from our first game but we will have a short practice/parent meeting this Friday towards the end of our schedules practice. I anticipate utilizing the game field at about 5:30pm to run through some of our plays versus a defense and get some film on the players for their benefit to be able to watch online and self-evaluate. ALL parents are welcome to come and watch. I believe that some of the parents would like to discuss team meals and other functions that happen throughout our season.
If at any point during the season you have questions please contact me at jmiller@hamptonhawks.us or my office phone number is 402-725-3566.
Go Hawks!

Pre-season Conditioning Starts Tonight
As with every season, there is a lot of excitement in the air. As we get ready to start our journey through the 2013 Hampton Football season, I am very excited!
For parents that visit this site, here are a few of the upcoming events to be aware of for your benefit. The dates/times of most of these activities can be found in the calendar on the right-hand side of the blog.
Conditioning Week: Starts tonight (8/5) and runs the entire week. Monday-Thursday will be from 6-7pm and Friday morning we will conclude our week at the pool in Aurora with a workout in the water.
IMPACT Testing: Due to NE State Laws, coaches and athletes must be educated yearly on concussion awareness. Also baseline tests need to be conducted on all incoming freshmen, as well as Freshmen. The test is supposed to be good for two years. Any new players that did not test last year, would need to test this year as well. We are able to administer the test at school and plan to do so on Thursday (5/8) starting at 5:00pm prior to conditioning on that day. If you have further questions concerning IMPACT testing, contact AD Kyle Gunderson as he has gone through the training to administer the test.
First Day of Practice: As you will see on calendar, the first official day of practice is Monday the 12th and we will have two practices the first 2 days for sure. Depending on the progress of the first two days will determine how many more 2-a-days we will have after the start of school. Stayed tuned to the calendar and inform your son to listen during practice for updated times and schedule information.
