Hello Football Families,
Friday we saw the most adversity we have all season and we saw a lot of opportunities that we simply missed. There is an old saying that says "Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn." I really believe that last Friday night our team learned a lot about ourselves.

Now learning is obviously a good thing and so can the process of that learning... however "wisdom" comes from the experience of learning from mistakes and most importantly correcting them as we move forward. This is what I love most about our team! You guys truly want to learn and grow and be wise leaders! We will need that growth mindset this week as we will face Army Navy. These next four practices will require attention to detail in our preparation for this Friday’s league match up. We will need to play more physical and trust our reads and each other as we enter our final two weeks and push towards the playoffs.

Take a moment to watch these two clips:

Finally, as a reminder film starts at 3:00PM sharp on Monday. Time to go and work hard! To quote John Wooden "When opportunity comes it is too late to prepare."

Play as One!
Coach Goodman
