Reaching out

This week was a real good week for the High school team for a few reasons. First and most importantly they are starting to truly realize they are a team. Comments were made by some of the players, in our team meetings after practice, were geared towards looking after each other and helping each other both on and off the field. This was expressed that if anyone needed help with either school work or bullies that all they had to do was ask and the team have there back. This i found to be very significant because they developed this attitude on their own. No coaching staff brought this up, or made mention of it. For them to find this significant speaks volumes to them realizing the team dynamic of the sport. On a lighter but still significant side we picked up three new people who have never played football in their lives. If this program is to continue to grow and thrive those are the people we need to reach. These individual came because they heard about it and though it sounded like it was something they would like to try. lets see how things work out for them.
