Taking a trip back to a field of a school they are more than familiar with is Krys Barnes and Jordan Love who returned to the central valley a changed team.

“Liberty is where I was raised it’s where I-grow,” Green Bay Packers’ first-string quarterback Jordan Love stated. 
 
However, instead of participating on this field this camp Love and Barnes returned as coaches and held the second Bam Fam Football Camp. 
 
“We’re here to be their teachers for this day, anything beyond that, we’re here for them,” Krys Barnes, a linebacker of the Arizona Cardinals team expressed passionately. 
 
Kids such as and Ayden Gallo a life long Packers fan too came all the way from Los Angeles to take part in the camp with the aim of refining his skills as a wide receiver. 
 
“Him being in the NFL and still playing there, he can be trusted and I trained with him,” Gallo said with regards to training with Love. 
 
Getting third grade children up to senior high school students, people registered in large numbers effectively reaching the capacity for sign up. 
 
“Krys Barnes and Jordan Love are both coming back home to a community that invested in them, and they are now exemplifying an ability to invest back into the community,” Bee Beam, the Bam Fam Foundation’s community liaison, said. 
 
Just as every pass and completion with the help of the two NFL stars demonstrates to these young athletes what can be done. 
 
“Of course there are not many men who were born in Bakersfield and get into the NFL," Love said “Which is why to have those guys returned to their town and bring them around youth and the kids to show them these are good influences in their lives and just to tell them that they can also get out of this town and become the next NFL player. 
 
However, becoming an NFL player is much easier than you can even imagine and you will come to realize. 
 
A survey conducted by the National Collegiate Athletics Association revealed that a paltry 7 percent of Coaches’ first and second team picks who were rookies possessed a mastery of appropriate conduct on the field. Less than 1% of high school football players go on to play college football and less than ½ of 1% get a football scholarship. Approximately 5 percent of athletes participating in college level sports are able to be hired in the NFL. 
 
Further than that, Barnes had spend more time in the NFL than many of the player in his position and in the upcoming season, the same thing will happen to Love. 
 
“I think every year we come back having the thought still in mind; let us grow, get more kids, inspiring the youths,” said Barnes. “That I think is the key point of our doing here is to inspire the youths, and show them that we are not mere visitors who come and go. We are actually back in the city and in our own town to give back to the youths. ”
