It been another challenging year of football. Started the season with 22 guys and this Friday we will head in to our first game of the playoffs with at the most 11 guys for 8 man ball. I hate to generalize but according to my last 2 years off coaching football 1/2 of high school students are quitters. This is probably very inaccurate data I have put together, but when I end the year with less then 1/2 of the guys I started with 2 years in a row its what I'm going on. I have 11 loyal dedicated guys and 2 guys that just got hurt that I'm proud to call the future of America. The rest have quit and I'm scared to call them the future. I'm not sure what to do or how to change this. I'm trying to do my part but I can only do so much as a coach. If you don't come to practice you will not win or play in the game. When these guy show up to their first business meeting unprepared I hope they understand how important practice is. In life you are always preparing for the big game. When you win or lose that game, you get up, learn what you did wrong or right, and then get ready for the next game.
Please take interest in a young adult and try to make them understand the importants of hard work, integrity and dedication. Improving our country is going to require that we invest in the future today. Our children are the future.
