Are the celebrity athlete(s) really there and helping coach?
Yes! The athletes are not only scheduled to be there, but they take an active role in the practice. There is always a chance of an emergency situation that does not allow for the celebrity athletes to make all the days of practice. All celebrity athletes sign an agreement that clearly states their involvement and commitment with the camp. We are very lucky in that most of the celebrities involved in the camps are there because they care and they want to be there. They are involved with all phases of the practice schedule and do a terrific job working with the kids. It is either their hometown, college town, or NFL city, so they have a great sense of contributing to the community. If an emergency arises that forces them to miss a practice, the athletes help find replacement athletes who the kids would enjoy working with.
