    Man I already miss my football career. I'm a senior at a high school on Long Island and I just finished my last football season this year as a star 6 foot 5 wide receiver and rotational defensive end and outside linebacker. But im not gonna play in college. I can tell you that this sport has something really special about it, and those who don't play football don't know what special thing im talking about. You just form an indescribable bond with everyone on the team, considering you spend more hours at school/practice with your teammates/coaches every day then you do with your own family at home. Id give anything to go back and play one more game of high school football. And most people who got the opportunity to play high school football and no longer play it would also say the same thing, that they'd do anything to play one more game. Don't ever take anything for granted, no matter how glorious or how shitty it is, because nothing last forever.

    Mr Tom Great comment brother.I can tell you played the game everything you said is so true.I had it made I had D1 schools wanting me Bama, LSU,Miss St, Ole Miss and Miami.and few others.I had decided to go with Miami to be closer to my family.Senior year was looking good for me 4 games in I had already 6 TD 522 yards on the ground and 280 yards in the air.We beat a rival team that was #3 in the state I got the winning TD life was perfect.One of the Miami coaches was there to watch me play.I remember after the game my mama and Uncle was saying come on lets go get a steak but no I wanted to go hang my team mates you know how it is you want to be with your brothers.I had girl I was gonna met up with just that feeling I still remember.Got a call that one of the guys at our school was having a party.We was like yeah lets go.On the way there we stop at a store where we could buy beer in bad part of town.My 2 brothers from the team go in to get the beer I get out to take a piss bathroom outside around the corner as Iam gonna around the corner a guy is running and next thing I know I heard shots I try to run back to the car guy shoots me in the back thinking I was the other guy I had a white shirt he had one on also.Hit my spine.It was over man I could not walk for awhile.What hurt most of all was not losing my dreams of playing collage ball,but letting my team down we was gonna take to state that year.The next 3 games we lost to easy schools I was laid up in hospital.They did not lose cause I was out it takes a team win.They just lost the will to win.I still think about it to this day what if we would have not stopped at that store or what if I would have just gone with my mama and uncle to eat a steak meet up with my brothers later.I never got in trouble before that I had ok grades good enough to get to Miami.You know I missed so much school I never graduated high school I gave up.I been in and out of jail.Its hard for me to type my hands go numb from nerve damage I had got from getting shot in the back.I just now getting my life together.Sorry I just wanted to share my story.Sorry for my bad typing I ever really told starngers this story of my life.Your so right don't take nothing for granted cause nothing last forever my life that night went from being the best day of my life to the worst.Take care man!

It's not about how many turn into professional football, it's about the character and worth ethic these kids get installed into them. Many of them with little or no role models in their own families to follow. All of these kids will benefit from their time with these coaches and become better men as a result. I'm totally inspired by this kind of dedication and selflessness that is all too missing these days.

    My high school won the football state championship last year, and the coaches were not working probably even half as much. For my coaches, schoolday started around 8:20ish, so they were all there by 7-7:30. NO MORNING WORKOUTS EVER. Then during the school day they each taught only 1-3 classes. The ones that had degrees in like physical education taught ONE weight lifting class and just chilled/did admin stuff the other hours of the schoolday, while the ones with degrees in subjects like math or history taught 2-3 classes. After school ended around 3:30, there would be a 1 hour period for them to relax/for players to warm up, and then practice from around 4:30 to anywhere from 6:30 to 7:30 PM. On Saturdays, just some morning running and drills, and Sundays off. Glad I didn't go to school in Texas.

    got his start in good ol GTOWN!!!!!! He's the same here as he was when i played for him. He's amazing and these kids just dont realize what they have as a coach sitting in front of them. He showed us how to be great EVERYDAY an wasn't afraid to lead by example. A fearless competitor and role model.

When your kids are all grown up, im sure they wont look back at that time and say, "oh well, at least my dad was a good coach and this IS Texas"

Football in Texas is so much more serious then in Colorado, in Colorado football is so soft compared to Texas ball. I've started on varsity for two years now and my team is 2nd best team in Colorado and we would get worked by any Texas team who is above a .500 record.

    As a former high school football coach in Oklahoma, I can totally relate to this coach. 6 am to 1 am during the season, my girls watched Disney movies in the team room when I cut film. That was my time with my daughters. Never a day off. The difference... Oklahoma doesn't make it worth the money. It's about .30c/hour. $30,000 in Oklahoma vs $70,000 in Texas.

New England Patriots coach Bill Bellichick, who spends AT LEAST 16 hours a day going through drills and watching film when the Patriots don't have a game, must be envious.
