Matt Campbell doesn’t let the learning stop in the classroom. This summer, he gave the team a summer reading assignment, a book called Pound the Stone by Joshua Medcalf. He wants the yearly summer assignment to be able to connect with what the players have gone through in the past, and what they will go through this upcoming season.
This book goes through a young man’s journey, showing his failures that would eventually lead to his success. Coach Campbell compares the message of this book to what the senior class has battled throughout their Cyclone career.
