Great Responsibility

"Never before has coaching had a greater challenge or responsibility.  I have found it difficult coaching players who are a product of this culture.  Kids have too many choices, too few commitments, and even fewer consequences.  They are self-absorbed, it's just a mentality.  They want to know, 'How does this benefit me?'  Very few of our players coming into our program have ever experienced consequences and that means they do not know suffering.  But if you don't suffer, you never get hungry, and you never learn to fight."
