Many parents look for help in their child's development and believe that the toughness of football can strengthen character. They expect the coach to be an example and teacher of good qualities of life. Design your program to develop the character of your players. Football offers a greater challenge than any other sport when you consider offense, defense, special teams, numbers, equipment, weather, adversity and parents. Many great lessons of life can be learned through involvement in foot- ball.
Football provides a great opportunity for athletes to display and develop their character.
Set high goals, demands and expectations for everyone that is a part of your team. Expect players to do what is right. Remember, often more is caught than taught. You will be a role model of something to your players.
