‘I was thinking this was the first day of school, homecoming and Christmas Day all wrapped into one,’ the coach says from the team’s new training facility
Chargers first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh leads the first day of training camp Wednesday, July 24, 2024, in El Segundo. EL SEGUNDO — Justin Herbert tossed spirals to a squadron of fleet-footed, sticky-fingered wide receivers. Derwin James Jr. shadowed those receivers down the field. J.K. Dobbins took handoffs from Herbert and darted through the offensive line before Tuli Tuipulutu could get a hand on him, halting play.
“I was thinking this was the first day of school, homecoming and Christmas Day all wrapped into one,” Harbaugh said. “There’s definitely changes , but, yeah, the way it feels, it’s like New Year’s Day. It’s like being born, coming out of the womb. Everything is comfortable and safe and now you’re out. Born. Lights are on. It’s bright. Chaos. People are looking at you, talking at you.”
“Just want to build,” Harbaugh said. “Just want to keep building. Just the idea of seeing if we can be better today than we were yesterday, better tomorrow than we were today. Just that so-simple-it-might-just-work approach. Keeping guys healthy, continuing to get bigger and stronger.”Harbaugh’s only complaint about Day One – and it wasn’t really a complaint – was that the Chargers practiced with a little too much energy near the end of the session.
However, he said asking the players to slow down certainly beat the alternative of having to tell them to pick up the pace.
