Coach put my dad's initials on the sleeves of our team shirts, so we all could have a memory of him. This meant so much to me because this way I knew my dad saw all my games. |
He always told us to carry ourselves with class. Like, every Friday after practice, he would tell us just basically to go home and tell our parents we love them. |
He kept checking with me throughout the next two years of football. He would always just talk to me. He would always tell me to come to him if I needed anything. |
