Today at Piney Grove Middle School, Coach Langley taught the campers a new concept: Activity does not mean achievement. As the campers went through their stations, the coaches watched to see if each camper tried their best at every task. By the end of stations, most of the campers achieved whatever drill was in front of them and Coach Langley commended the campers for it. He also commended everyone for being one percent better from Monday and that they continue to get one percent better each day.
