Chris Prosinski Football Camp Helps Youngsters Overcome The Nervousness Of The Game

Many future hopefuls were on the field to see what they could learn from a former pro.

The 4th annual Chris Prosinski camp took place on Monday (August 10th) at the Buffalo High School Auxiliary Fields.

The camp was designed for those in grades one through eight, and a number of Buffalo High School football players and coaches were on hand to help out. 

Prosinski says for beginners, it can be a nervous experience at first, but it’s the best time to learn how to develop teamwork and try to have some fun.

“I think just being a good teammate, encouraging each other, that’s always huge, especially at this level and then just keep coming back to make it an enjoyable experience and just having fun with it. Speaking from my own kids’ experiences, they’re nervous and there’s fear associated with it just because they’re uncomfortable, but that’s why we’ll make it fun for them and have a good time and typically at the end of the day if you get them out here and just get them running around and laughing with a lot of their classmates and teammates, they’ll enjoy it enough to come back.”

Prosinkski is a 2006 Buffalo High School grad who helped the Bison win 2 state championships and he is the 2006 Milward-Simpson Award Winner.

He played college football at the University of Wyoming and played 8 years in the NFL.

Next month he is scheduled to be inducted into the UW Athletics Hall of Fame.
