LiveStrongSkins Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 My doctor who is close with ken harvey through certain charity programs in the area, told him he has a patient who just went through treatment and is planning to return to football the following season (me) Ken Harvey told him hes going to get in touch with me and he wants to see to it that i do so! He wants to talk with me and give me some pointers (certain lifts, nutrition, etc...) I was so excited and couldnt belive it, he was a great redskin and an even better guy. For those that dont know hes extremely active in the washington area community and is the author of a new line of childrens books. I just found all this out this morning so im pretty excited!

LiveStrongSkins Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Originally posted by [[ghost]] you lucky mofo... hope his tips help out They have to help. Hes years removed from football and hes still just as ripped as a 21 year old coming into the draft. Not to mention hes a black belt. It's just really cool because you hear about all the selfish players but its stuff like this that kind of flys under the radar. It was an honor to hear that he cared like that.

red zone Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Ken Harvey was one of the greatest players who never played in the play-offs ever. One bad man! Good luck Livestrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
authentic Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 i love the passion he still has for the skins, the guy was a beast when he played here.. for some reason i still feel as though he retired too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TODD Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 My guitar teacher teaches Ken Harvey's kids (and Charles Mann's) every week and he has nothing but good things to say about him. He apparently is a real nice guy and you're lucky to get pointers from such an athlete! Good luck, LS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr1 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Ken Harvey was a great California Golden Bear! Tell him 'Go Bears' for me....he'll get it. Nice story. Good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drex Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Harvey was one of the few major reasons to watch the team during some extremely lean years. It's unfortunate he never had the opportunity to play in the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveStrongSkins Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Originally posted by jimster What position or positions are you aiming for? Im a wide reciever but better at free safety. I got changed to wideout at bridgewater because the free safety was a 3 time all american. So its pretty much up to the coaches, they know i can play both, just depends whats needed most. I know this sounds weird but i even look forward to 2 a days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimster Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 are you in college now? ...hopefully we could catch you on TV this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveStrongSkins Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Originally posted by jimster are you in college now? ...hopefully we could catch you on TV this fall. I had to take a leave of absence to go through treatment. Im going back to school the second semester of the coming year and playing next season. It would be too risky and too soon out of treatment to risk an injury right now. However i play small college football and we wouldnt be on tv unless we made the playoffs. ESPN2 picks up the last few rounds of the post season. When i came into frostburg we had a talented young bunch so who knows, maybe you will see us on tv. however i heard were adding catholic to the schedule, so for you local extremers come check us out in DC!

TheLongshot Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Ah! You play at Frostburg, my alma mater. At least when I was there, it wasn't exactly friendly to WRs (they ran the option when I was there.) Good luck to you, tho. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a PE teacher at my old high school now and was the one who informed me about frostburg. Yeah i heard just a few years ago they stopped running the option and Wing T. The new OC is from lancaster and runs a wide open offense. The playbook looks like the yellow pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross3909 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Ken works out at a Gym right down the street from my house. My wife met him once and was pretty impressed. He is a class act and one of my favorite Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnacpa Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I went to college at Frostburg with The Longshot ... unfortunately we did not know Sean Freeman .... we watched the games but weren't part of the teams and didn't play in college sports.

TheLongshot Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Well, Brian didn't play sports. I tried out for the Track team, and wasn't nearly good enough, and played on the Lacrosse club. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
