When my father passed away from cancer in 2013, we received a thoughtful note from his farm neighbor.
He wrote that during a drought, my dad (a farmer) would always tell him, “Every day that goes by is one day closer to rain.”
It will rain again. 😊
We are one day closer.

- Life skills. Football coaches are passionate about football, but not for reasons you think. Sure, the strategy and schemes make it fun for us, but ask any coach: the development of young men’s life skills trumps all else. Every season. Every team. Every kid. #WhyPlayFootball
