Not sure how many of you are involved with youth, HS, college football. I am. I have grandson's playing in college down thru youth football.
Coaches these days, and it's been for a while now, are putting academics and character as top priority. Kids, players, are constantly reminded that nothing is more important than academics and character when it comes to playing sports. A young athlete hoping to advance to the next level can add nothing more positive to their resume than what they have given back to their chosen sport that is above and beyond what they have personally achieved in sports.
