WHAT DEON HAS TO SAY ABOUT WENDELL

He's a big teddy bear. He's tall, very vocal, firm but fair. He works players like never before. He believes in going the extra mile. He's very big on discipline and preferes players to work with players who will come to the gym to work. If you have a lazy player, a player who lacks focus, a real talented player, a player who needs to develop better work habits and confidence, then Wendell is your guy. Since he's from New Iberia, he has an accent that's a lot different from us Texans.
