CHICK TALK: Being A Part of the Last Jets Training Camp at Hofstra
Posted by: chick, in Jets Internship
Hello all you Sports Chick Blog fans!! Now I know you’ve all be reading the blog this past week and there have been no new posts, but I had a good reason! I FINALLY took some time off and had a nice family vacation. Everyone in my family works hard in their own way, so there was a much needed vacation due! And where did we go? Disney of course!! And being the Sports Chick we stayed at the All Star Sports, If you wanna do Disney the Sports Chick way, then stay there! It was a blast!
But who the hell wants me to blog about my vacation??!! No one! So here it goes…
… About a month a go I mentioned that I will be interning with the NY Jets this summer. So two days ago set-up started (I actually missed the first day because I was still chillin’ with Mickey Mouse! 
) Anyway, I’m not the most athletic human being in the world so literally every effing muscle in my body is sore! There are muscles sore that I didn’t even know existed!!
But today was the first day of Training Camp. For the Jets it’s the last TC at Hofstra University. How ’bout a little history lesson? The Jets have had TC at Hofstra since the Joe Namath days. For my family most of our summer memories come from Jet camp. Just a few stories would be like you know how all the little kids ask for those dirty gross sweatbands that the players wear? Yea, my brother asked Keyshawn Johnson for his helmet! Key hysterically laughed and gave my brother a signed glove instead, thus leading my brother to get a couple more gloves every year from TC. There are millions of other stories I have from TC at Hofstra, but I’ll keep them to myself.
So given the oppurtunity to work the LAST TC at Hofstra for my favorite NY Jets was something I couldn’t turn down. It was too storybook…
… I will be working the very last one and that’ll be my top memory of Jets TC at Hofstra.
It seems like the tearing down of Yankee Stadium and the moving of the Jets to Jersey rips away my childhood. Not the fact that I’ll be graduating from Cortland soon. It’s the memories of those places and knowing I can’t make new one after 2008. So a new category will be added to the blog “Jets Internship.” I try to post what I can from TC, and maybe even share a few more memories!
