Dallas Cowboys players hyped head coach Brian Schottenheimer for his high energy and the excitement he brings to the field, and a new mic'd up training camp video shows he is as advertised.

From the moment Brian Schottenheimer took over as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, the one word we heard on repeat was "energy." Players new and old have been praising Schottenheimer for his infectious energy and the new culture he is creating in the organization.

When Schottenheimer was first hired, there was a lukewarm response from the fan base. Some may have preferred a flashier hire, but "Coach Schotty" has been getting the job done.

Throughout OTAs and minicamp, it was clear that Schottenheimer was building a good repoire with the players, and that has carried over to training camp.

Since arriving in Oxnard, the Cowboys look rejuvenated and are actually enjoying themselves on the field. Every practice starts with a high-energy warm-up, and it's created a great atmosphere.

While we have seen clips and photos from the practice sessions, the Cowboys are now giving fans a more intimate look at what it's like out on the field with Schottenheimer roaming.

The team dropped a four-minute video of Coach Schotty mic'd up during the first weekend practices of this year's training camp and he is as advertised. Schottenheimer is hyping his players at every opportunity.

How could you not want to play for this man? Let's just hope the energy can continue throughout the season, even if the team hits a rough stretch, and that it results in wins in the fall.
