MoFo Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Teams don't forget October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Strike Force Sports in Lumberton was very helpful for my team last year for Breast Cancer Awareness Socks for our team...Just a suggestion.
Gusher Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 I had no idea boys would be that interested in wearing pink. I love it. After last year we had to place some restrictions to what players could do to the association issued equipment. Several helmets were permanently marked with pink.
MoFo Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Posted September 23, 2011 Several of our past and present player's families have been affected by breast cancer so we go out of our way to show support.
Gusher Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Last year we had a player that had stikers he wore on his helmet with names of family members he wanted to remember.
MoFo Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Posted September 23, 2011 I think as a coach you have to take every oppurtunity to not only mold athletes, but also character. Show the kids that standing up for something is a good thing.
Gusher Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 You betcha.Like my old coach use to say winning is not everything... but it is the most important thing.Or play for the fun of it but only winning is fun. Just kidding I hope all kids get more out of playing football then X's and O's. As a parent and coach I hope to show that.
