Dear SJC Community,

2

It’s time for Cadet football! St. John’s football program is gearing up for the ultimate test this season. The Cadet 2019 preseason polling ranks are as high as #3 in the nation and as low as #5, while having the undisputed #1 toughest schedule in America. The team will play the #1 (Mater Dei, CA – SJC Homecoming, nationally televised on ESPN), #4 (St. Joseph’s Preparatory, PA), #5 (Duncanville, TX), #7 (IMG Academy, FL), #9 (Gonzaga, DC), #15 (DeMatha, MD), #21 (Deerfield Beach, FL) and #25 (Good Counsel, MD) nationally-ranked teams. They will face off against eight of the top 25 teams in the country. This year’s team is led by its senior captains and four-year varsity players WR Rakim Jarrett (5-star ranking) on offense and LB Mekhail Sherman (5-star ranking) on defense. Although the team is committed to bringing home a WCAC championship for the SJC community, these student-athletes are also focused on exemplifying St. John’s Lasallian values of fortitude, hard work, Christian service and self-sacrifice for the good of others – both on and off the gridiron. Following a tough playoff loss in 2018, their offseason performance training program and commitment to excellence has led them to develop a Pillars of Success platform that encompasses faith, discipline, toughness, trust, love and respect. The team’s vision is to utilize this platform to develop a standard of excellence for individual and team success. They demonstrate great courage to play such a challenging schedule, which will only help them become a stronger, more cohesive team and provide them with more opportunities to learn from and support one another. It is a season that will test the limits of their endurance and teamwork. We would like to thank Head Coach Joe Casamento and his coaching staff and Athletic Director Brian Griffin and his staff for their outstanding leadership and dedication to our students. We also thank the families and alumni who support this program and the school community. Sincerely,

Jeffrey W. Mancabelli President

During those 17 years, he met with tremendous success, amassing a 143-27 record and winning a New York state title. He was recently inducted into the Christian Brothers Academy Hall of Fame. His work as a quarterback coach is equally impressive. In fact, each of his quarterbacks for the past 17 years has gone on to play Division I football at the collegiate level. Prior to taking the head coaching position at CBA, Coach Caz served on the staff of perennial New York power Henninger High School. Success has always been a common denominator in Coach Caz’s career. In fact, the teams that he has coached since 1972 have only posted one losing season and have won 12 sectional championships. For more than a decade, Coach Caz’s College Prep Camps across the country have helped high school football players find the right college match. His focus at these camps extends beyond the fundamentals of football, encompassing life skills and Lasallian values, aiding the young men in becoming better sons and brothers and preparing them to be better fathers. Off the field, Coach Caz most recently served as the executive director of LEAD USA, a not-for-profit organization that offers a wide range of instructional services designed to bring about individual and organizational transformation. In that capacity, he traveled around the country, speaking to students and helping school administrations implement necessary changes.

the under armour connection

19

K

evin Plank, SJC Class of 1990 and MVP of the 1989 championship victory against DeMatha, is the founder, chairman and CEO of Under Armour, the originator of performance apparel. Plank began the company in 1996. Since then, Under Armour has been an industry leader. When Under Armour sold shares of the company for the first time in November 2005, the company posted the most successful initial public offering by an American company in five years, and the stock has continued to perform extraordinarily well. By 2013, the company was posting more than $2 billion in annual revenue. Under Armour is now an official supplier to Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League, the National Football League and just about every Division I-A college football program. Under Armour holds roughly 80 percent of the market share in the compression performance apparel market. In 2006, Plank was named the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year in the Retail and Consumer Products category. In 2012, Forbes magazine listed him as No.

3 on the list of the most powerful CEOs in America under the age of 40. Plank has also been inducted into the Baltimore Business Journal ’s Hall of Fame. Plank has stayed close to St. John’s athletic program and has given motivational pre-game, halftime and post-game speeches to the players. Under Armour is also the official apparel sponsor of the St. John’s athletic program. In 2005, St. John’s became one of just three high

ST. JOHN’S FOOTBALL 2019

schools nationwide (the other two were in Indiana and Arizona) to wear Under Armour uniforms. Starting in 2006, the St. John’s varsity team began wearing Under Armour cleats as the official team shoe. In addition to the Under Armour uniforms and cleats, players at St. John’s wear Under Armour LooseGear microshorts, ColdGear mock turtlenecks, UA Tech T-shirts, receiver gloves, visors, performance socks and much more.


performance training

O

ur full-time performance coaches provide professional-level training to St. John’s athletes. These innovative, evidence-based strength and conditioning programs are customized by sport to give each athlete the tools they need to take their performance to the next level. St. John’s offers two performance training classes during the academic year that are open to any interested student. In addition, each athletic team receives sport-specific training year-round from the performance coaches.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE • STRENGTH TRAINING: Comprehensive training programs designed to target the entire body using multi-joint movements (including Olympic training). Athletes train in the Smith Weight Room, which houses cutting-edge weight and resistance training equipment. • CARDIOVASCULAR TRAINING: Interval training that incorporates stationary bikes, jump ropes, Woodway treadmill, stadium runs, sleds, prowlers and drills on the multi-purpose turf field.

20

• MOVEMENT TRAINING: Resistance training, plyometrics and mobility and flexibility exercises. • SPEED AND AGILITY TRAINING: Linear and multidirectional drills designed to teach athletes to move more effectively. • PREHABILITATION TRAINING: Sport-specific training to correct imbalances and weaknesses in the body that could lead to injury. • RECOVERY TRAINING: Athletes receive nutrition plans and learn myofascial release techniques designed to return their body to a normal state of mental and physical health in order to prepare them for the next practice or competition.
