Heart of champion (1)
In my third year as a high school athletics coach, I gave a speech telling students and parents about the benefits of football. I gave the same speech each year, wholesale replica designer handbags, aimed at recruiting new team members: I talked about how football isn’t just for star athletes, how everyone can benefit from the discipline, team spirit and so on and so forth. This year, a worried-looking couple approached me after the speech. Their son, who had had a sickly childhood, really wanted to play football, they’d tried to talk him out of it, but he had his heart set on joining the team.
When they told me his name, my heart sank. Michael was five feet, ten inches tall and weighed about 108 pounds. He was a lonely hid, the constant target of other kids ‘jokes, wholesale designer handbags and as far as I knew he had never participated in sports. I knew Michael would never make it through football practice, let alone as a player. But so close on the heels of my “football is for everyone” speech, what could I say? I told them we could give it a try.
On the opening day of practice, Michael was the first player on the field. We did 30 minutes of warm-up before starting a one-mile jog around the track. I kept my eye on “Michael. At 50 yards he fell, and I helped him to his feet “Michael, wholesale coach handbags,” I said, “why don’t you just walk the mile?” he looked like the others. So I let him go on. Repeatedly he fell, each time picking himself up. After one lap, I couldn’t watch anymore, so I pulled him aside.
