Every vacation was taking my brother and I to camp, whether it was football camp, wrestling camp, or whatever it was.

Sean McDermott

I think there needs to be modified penalties in training camp because there's severely modified compensation in training camp for all of us.

Aaron Rodgers

We all laughed. It was more like that whole thing that I was talking about earlier. You go to training camp and after the season is over, you might not see the guys for six months until you go back to training camp.

Bubba Smith

That's the whole part of playing football and having training camp. Coming in and recognizing how players play.

Jason Pierre-Paul

I go to practice every day. I really don't have a training camp. In the boxing world, and that's where that came from, almost every time a guy would get out of the ring and he wouldn't break a sweat again until he went to his next training camp. He would do absolutely nothing until he started training for the next fight.

Chael Sonnen

I concentrate on training. I go to the gym. I want to put the football first, not the social media or what's going on around the camp.

Mohamed Salah

When you're coming into training camp, there's not a whole lot that is familiar. When you can grab something from it, it keeps you calm and helps you just play football.

Adam Thielen

I don't feel like anybody can be in top-notch football shape when you first get out there, and that's what training camp is for, and that's why it's a long process.

Rob Gronkowski

I train great outside of camp but then once camp starts, it's just a constant weight cut.

Michael Chiesa

Before, I would spend all my hours at training, come home, sleep, eat, watch football, sleep, and go back to training the next day. Now I do the school run, train, pick up my daughter. I am living in the real world. I am a father now. That has given me more satisfaction than football.

Craig Bellamy

Normally a summer league is a dry run for training camp, gives the guys an idea what training camp looks like, and then summer league, you're not really playing against NBA rotation type players, so not a good example of the talent level you'll be facing, but the fall practices give you a good head start.

Tom Thibodeau

Rehab is amazing. It reminds me of football camp. Kind of like the Washington Redskins camp I went to as a kid.

Rob Ford

I like to have a lot of time to be able to format what I want to do, and how I'm going to do my training camp. When you're doing a camp on short notice, it makes everything else suffer.

Rashad Evans

When I came to Afghanistan, I couldn't choose the training camp; al Qaeda and the Arabs ran the camps. I said, 'Hey, I want to help.' They said I could not until I had training. I said, 'OK, I'll take the training.'

Mohamedou Ould Slahi

I had the good luck to have the experience of training with fantastic football players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Ozil, Modric, and I also played for Real Madrid B. That was a fantastic experience because it was my first international experience as a football player and taught me a lot as a football player.
