EKPC Student Athlete Development

EKPC Student Athlete Development

EKPC student athlete development starts in December and runs through April. We give every athlete the tools, training, and support needed to grow into a confident, college-ready player—on and off the field. From elite coaching and leadership skills to nutrition, recruiting support, and mental health training, EKPC student athlete development is a complete experience.

What We Provide

At the Erik Kramer Passing Camp Foundation (EKPCF), we focus on five key areas:

Erik Kramer Passing Camp (EKPC)
  • EKPC creates a supportive learning environment grounded in Dr. Thayne’s Solution-Focused Leadership, with pre-camp reading (Not by Chance and Taking the Reins) to prepare parents and athletes to communicate at a higher level
  • Skill development and tactical instruction from former NFL and top college players
  • Fundamentals-based offensive and defensive systems that mirror collegiate programs
  • Whole-person development through workshops for players and families
  • Personalized college football recruiting assistance at all levels

December 2025: Pre-Camp Preparation

By late November 2025, all 50 – 55 student athletes and their families will have committed to our offseason 2026 training program. By December 1st the following information will be made accessible to all camp participants including parents:

  1. Digital copy of Taking the Reins by Harold Kurstedt and Dr. Tim Thayne – Required reading           
  2. 55 – 60 minute edited video of Dr. Thayne’s 2-day interactive Solution Focused Leadership workshop and workbook
  3. The Trustyy coaching app with on-boarding tutorial
  4. Offensive and defensive static information
    • Terms, formations, snap counts, schemes, alignments
  5. A full installation and meeting calendar
  6. Tactic3D motion playbooks with telestration and coaching voiceover
  7. Teaching videos combining whiteboard breakdowns and real-game analysis
    • Example: Coach Erik Kramer uses whiteboard and film to explain EKPC zone and man coverages in the West Coast Passing Game
  8. The full EKPC video library with drill progressions and playbooks

All athletes must study these materials to be fully prepared for January camp.
