The crowd is buzzing with excitement, and you can see the determination on the faces of the players as they warm up.
The weather is perfect for a football game - clear skies and a light breeze. Tony Sanchez, the head coach of Bishop Gorman, is seen pacing back and forth on the sideline, strategizing with his assistants and preparing for the game ahead.
As I watch Daniel Stewart take the field, I can't help but feel a sense of pride knowing that I have documented his entire HS football career. He is clearly focused, ready to give it everything he has in this crucial matchup against state-champion Gaels and Randall Cunningham II at QB. The atmosphere is electric, and I am honored to be able to capture this moment in time.

Alright Stewart, let's take a look at this play from the Bishop Gorman playoffs against Spring Valley. You did a good job of getting off the line and into your stance, but I noticed that you were a bit high on your pads. Keep your knees bent and maintain a low center of gravity. This will help you react quicker to the play and be more explosive out of your stance.
Now let's look at this next clip. You did a great job of reading the offense and getting into your drop back quickly. However, I noticed that you were a bit flat-footed when dropping back. Try to use a small hop to generate some momentum and create more velocity in your drops. This will help you move quicker and be more effective at throwing down the field.
Overall, Stewart, you did a good job of handling the pressure and making plays for us. Keep working on those technique details and you'll continue to improve as a player. Let's get back to work and get ready for next week's game.
