I hope you are paying attention.

I hope you are paying attention when you go watch these football games in the fall.

I hope you are seeing...

-the hard work- mentally, emotionally, and physically

 -the sacrifices made

-the hours and hours of tedious drills, weight room reps, and playbook memorization

-the commitment to an academic goal of graduation

-the brotherhood

-the unabashed show of love and pride for each other

-the parents who demonstrated what commitment and dedication looks like for 18 years of parenting…and counting

-the hearts who hope to win, to break records, and to progress 

-the minds growing in maturity with every win, every achievement, every loss, and every disappointment

-the imprint of countless teachers, coaches, and adults who have poured all the right things into the children they have been able to influence

I hope you’ve noticed all those things.

But if you haven’t, just look into the eyes of any student athlete on the field. You’ll see it. And you’ll love those players even more no matter what the scoreboard says at the end of the game.
