THE 2015 PLAY-4-LIFE ALL STARS FOOTBALL CLINIC

FEATURING DESEAN JACKSON, WASHINGTON REDSKINS’ WIDE RECEIVER AND PUNT RETURN SPECIALIST

SATURDAY, MAY 16, 2015

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS, HOWARD FIELD

 The All Star Clinic is a comprehensive football clinic in partnership with the Helping Youth Pursue Excellence organization (HYPE), Panther football and the Play4Life Foundation with the mission of offering a clinic for the scholar athlete and their families. Panther football is dedicated to the mental and physical development of the student athlete through sports and education, creating life long success. In addition to the Playbook, HYPE has adopted and embraced the philosophy of the Play4Life Foundation that emphasizes the implementation of the “five disciplines” in to every aspect of a student athlete’s life. These disciplines are Desire, Dream, Vision, Belief and Power. This clinic is the launch of the pilot program and the partnership and collaboration of HYPE and Play4Life.

The PLAYBOOK is an interactive, long-term, life and academics enrichment program designed to accompany the documentary “DeSean Jackson: The Making of a Father’s Dream”. The documentary was used as the springboard to an intervention curriculum for athletes and their coaches – and mainstream students and their teachers – which leads to a structured, individualized plan for those student athlete’s (or student’s) success both on the field or in the classroom.

Boys Latin Charter School of Philadelphia, DeSean Jackson, DeSean Jackson: The Making of a Father's Dream, Philadelphia Eagles

DeSean Jackson attended a screening of DeSean Jackson: The Making of a Father’s Dream and spoke with students directly following the film. DeSean Jackson, who has built a career on creating highlights, has lived much of his life in front of a camera. The by-product is a new documentary, DeSean Jackson: The Making of a Father’s Dream, compiled from thousands of hours of footage taken by his brother, Byron Jackson, since Jackson was a child. It is a story of his rise to fame from Pop Warner to Pro Bowl and tells the rocky journey of a family to stay together through it all, despite their differences, and in the face of mounting pressure from outside influences. It is a family story, wrapped in the fanfare of an NFL dream. The sentiment “it takes a Village to catch a break” is woven throughout-a sentiment that rings true with the Boys’ Latin community.
