| PAPPAS PRIDE I use to think pride was an emotion (proud). Being proud when good is confidence, when bad is cockiness . Real PRIDE is an action, like a man who takes pride in his work. It is an action where you do something the best it can be done and never settle for anything less. Continue this is life Pappas and you will be a success in everything! |
| Hancock FOCUS The hardest thing for a young athlete to understand is that becoming the best in a sport isn't in the fun activities, like scrimmaging. It doesnt just come in the moment either where you walk out on the field and are amazing. Being great takes a lot of hard work, hard work that comes during every off season, every practice, every little drills. It is in these details that great athletes are made. Championships are born. Nothing makes me more exicited as a coach to see an athlete concentrating on a drill and giving it his best each and every time. This is the true definition of success--giving it your best each and every time at each and every event you encounter. Nice job Hancock. |
| Catherman The 2 Man Block I can't say I have ever seen a block quite like this one at practice where he literally threw one man onto his back into another man that fell to his back. I heard Coach Dan say at practice which I also believe in is that BLOCKING and TACKLING are the two most fundamental parts to being successful in football. Great blocking is rare as it is hard. The media doesn't keep stats or show pictures of it. It is talked about only by those who really know the game. Blockers take pride, every touchdown is yours. Catherman that was a great block. There is no doubt you deserved the wood and if I was ever lucky enough to coach you a whole season, I am sure you'd have my leadership award somewhere in your room. |
| Hartwig Hustle Success in life is giving it everything you have. We can't always control the situations we are in or the way nature has made. There are certain limits, such as height, that are beyond our control. There is never any sense in worrying about things. What we can do is give it our best in what we can control -- our effort. Every man has control of the ability to go all out every play, every moment. That is what hustling is, never giving up, never giving in. In our in-team scrimmage Hartwig was all over the field. I seen him get knocked down and get up to make the tackle. I was very impressed. It is the amount we hustle at all times that determines whether we achieve success. |
| RILEY Hard Hit The whole idea of the wood comes from hitting. Bring the wood, laying lumber -- is all about those hits that make you cringe when you see them, and makes the opponent shake and tweak when you lay one on. My favorite part of football is hitting. This is the one sport where violence every play is rewarded. It doesn't matter size (look at Riley), but a combination of will, technique and opportunity. His hit was amazing because it happened behind the line of scrimmage. It was the true essence and worthy of the WOOD. |
