Dear Family and Friends,

    On June 26-28, we held our annual youth football camp in Milford, Ohio.  As always, my family and I had an amazing time with all the campers.  Special thanks to all of our participants-- you gave it your all and I sincerely appreciate your enthusiasm and passion for the game.  While I love to see new players join the camp, it is particularly rewarding to watch repeat campers grow and excel year after year.  I thank you for joining us, and I strongly encourage all of you to work hard in school this year!

    This camp wouldn't be possible without the help of so many. Special thanks to our sponsors--your continued support is sincerely appreciated: Duke Energy, Lehr's, Lykins, Sibcy Cline, Milford Dental Excellence, DigiMax, Miami Market, Milford Youth Football, Kellie & Jack Frymier, Tony & Susan Cardinal, Clermont County Equipment, vitaminwater, LaRosa's Pizzeria, Now What Video, and Brower Insurance Agency.

     The coaches truly are the backbone of the camp--thank you, thank you, thank you to Mark Lutz, Brett Basanez (Chicago Bears), Austin King, Rob Ninkovich (New Orleans Saints), Eric Batis, Robert Jackson, and Digger Bujnoch (New Orleans Saints). 

     Many thanks to our friends at Milford High School: Mark Trout, Pat Fagan & The Milford High School Coaching Staff and Mike Thalner.  A HUGE THANKS TO RED!!  You make magic happen for us every year!

     To our camp volunteers--everything runs smoothly because of YOU!  Where would we be without you?  I know.... no registrants and a ton of boys (and men) with empty stomachs at lunch time!!  I appreciate you more than you know: my beautiful sister Heather, my sweet wife Mandy, Katie, Aunt Stephanie & Uncle Gary, Mandy Pfieffer, Dianne Pfieffer, Karen Fite, Lauren Fite, Louise Crowe and Aunt Sheryll & Uncle Stephen.  I love you all.

    And last, but certainly not least--my parents, Cathy & Doug Strief.  This entire camp wouldn't happen without YOU!  Thank you for working so hard all year round; YOU make me look good.  I am blessed and thankful to call you Mom and Dad.

Dream Big,

Zach
