Newton, a former NFL MVP, regularly coaches at practices and games. The program emphasizes leadership, discipline, and exposure to college recruiters. Its alumni include Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter.

the former Florida quarterback shared a video on Tuesday of his intense “Hell Week” workouts with young football players. The post, captioned:

“Could You Survive CAM Hell Week”, was shared by Cam Newton 7V7 on Instagram.

In the clip, Newton challenges the athletes' effort and mentality, asking, “You think we just call it hell week just to call it hell week?” He criticizes their approach:

“Silver spoon because you’re doing ordinary work expecting extraordinary results,” and instructs one player to “slow down.”

He defines the drill as “ordinary work expecting extraordinary results” and calls it “normalized work.”

The post also promoted an upcoming event:

“PRESEASON FOOTBALL 25: ROAD TO BLESS THE BABIES Bowl,” with “29 Days Left.”

According to Nebraska TV, the tournament, free to the public, allowed spectators to watch standout high school athletes. Coaches like Jason Batter of Spirit Elite-Omaha valued the opportunity for players and staff.

Newton participated in the tournament with his team and offered advice to players throughout the weekend.
