Train Like a Pro: Ian Book’s Youth Football Clinic
Former Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book will open the doors of the Mishawaka Fieldhouse on Sunday, July 26, for a three‑hour youth football clinic designed for players between the ages of nine and fifteen.
The program, titled ‘Train Like a Pro,’ emphasizes more than just on‑field drills; it integrates mobility exercises, injury‑prevention strategies and mental‑focus techniques to help young athletes develop a holistic approach to the game.
Book, who enjoyed a standout college career at Notre Dame, will draw on his own experience to guide participants through a curriculum that blends physical conditioning with mindset coaching, aiming to instill confidence and resilience both on and off the field.
The event is being staged in partnership with the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, a local provider of specialized care for athletes, ensuring that participants have access to expert advice on injury prevention and recovery.
Organizers say the clinic is open to all interested youths in the region, with the goal of fostering a love for the sport while teaching valuable life skills. Registration details are available through local community channels.
