Just wanted to share a letter that the greatest team mom in the history of the game ... Libby Egleston ... shared with the Wadsworth Grizzly Football family at the conclusion of the 2014 season.
Enjoy ... best in football,
Coach Eggs
To a football parent~
Dear FOOTBALL PARENT,
You dreaded this year’s arrival, but it has come just the same. A year full of
promise, but so many “last times.” Over the years you have helped with
countless team meals, washed mounds of sweaty uniforms, chauffeured to more
early morning practices then you care to remember. You have been
top-of-the-world elated when your son has had a good night and endured his
deathlike silences when he hasn’t. It is amazing how the family mood bobs with
the rhythm of each game. You have laughed, cried, screamed, sulked, pouted,
sweat, pulled your hair, bit your nails, bit your tongue, paced, worried,
shoved, frowned, and smiled all very gracefully and within a two hour
span.
Such is the life of a football parent.
You may not be in on the big play, but you feel the thrill of victory and the
agony of defeat right along with your son. You keep your composure when some
fan behind you wants your son’s head while the opponent on the field is mashing
it into the grass. “Get off him, that's my baby” you’d like to shout! You
breathe football at this time of year, especially this time of year when your
heart whispers “just a little longer” as the season slides by. You plead and
bargain, knowing full well that some other parent on the opponent's team is
making their own deal with the Almighty, but you do it anyway, because you no
more want it to end than your son does. You do not want to see the desperation
in his eyes and the pain on his face as he struggles to put away his childhood
dreams. You are helpless in the stands, with no way to make it better.
Is it worth it?
YOU BET IT IS!
Every lost game sock, busy Friday night. Every recovering Saturday,
every aspirin, every ruined hair do, hot bath, goose bumps, and every obnoxious
fan and sports writer you’ve had to tolerate is worth it. The fun isn’t
measured by how many times your son gets into the newspaper, the game, or what
he does when he gets there. The fun - what makes those trips to the ER for the
pigskin stitches all worthwhile, is watching a game, what a sport experience
can do to convert your little boy into a young man. Watching him tackle the
world and you have a front row seat.
You still see that rambunctious 5 yr old playing football in the yard. You bite
your lip and hold back the tears because though you are fiercely proud of the
young man he has become, you miss the boy. In fact you mourn for all the little
boys. You have watched them grow up together, plot and scheme together, win and
lose together. They have raided your kitchen, camped out in your basement,
stole your heart. They are blessed with something they will never have again.
They know it and you know it. So you pray that wonder will last another game,
and then another, because as long as it does, you hang on to a piece of your
boy for a bit longer. Watching him walk off that field one last time will be no
less painful then giving birth to him all those years ago.
We will miss this group of young men.
We will miss watching them run on to the field like soldiers going to battle,
the hi-fives after a great play, the chest slams after a great tackle, the
celebrations over a big win and the sober faces after a disappointing loss. We
will miss watching the boys we love, play the game they
love.....Football.

It Takes a Village
On August 1st, 2014
Wadsworth Youth Football will award multiple scholarships to recent Wadsworth
High School graduates at the 2nd Annual Scholarship dinner at the
Galaxy restaurant.
It has taken a village to
accomplish this paramount achievement of giving back and paying forward.I first became acquainted with Wadsworth Youth Football Booster Club, Inc. in 2004 when my eldest son was 8 years old. Needless to say, we got him signed up and in the program. What I did not know, was how strong the Wadsworth Youth Football organization was and how much stronger it would become.
As a self-funded not for profit
group, operated solely by volunteers, the Wadsworth Youth Football Booster club
has a long history dating back to the early 60’s. Motivated parents have kept the tradition going
strong and growing strong for over 50 years.
As with everything, changes occur
over time. For example, in 2004, the
situation was such that that our kids were split into two different teams … the
Browns and the Redskins. Although both
teams were supported by the same booster club, the teams practiced in 2
different locations across town from one another. In 2006, WYF leadership floated the idea of
bringing all the teams to the Steiner, High School and Middle school campus for
nightly practice. In cooperation with
the school leadership, it came to pass and all of the teams were in the same
immediate area each night for practice.
The following season, the team names Browns and Redskins were retired
and all youth football players became Grizzlies. The major point to take away is that we
managed to bring all the kids playing youth football together and told them all
that they were now Grizzlies. An idea
with motivated people and the support of the village made this significant and
positive shift possible.
After such a positive transition,
the Grizzlies faced a tough challenge after Wadsworth taxpayers passed a tax
levy to fund the construction of the current Wadsworth High School and
Community Center campus. At the time, I
was serving on the booster club and I thought … “but we just got here” … “now
we have to go somewhere else?” Yes, we
were essentially evicted forever. It
wasn’t like it was just a transition period during construction, it was
permanent. In my opinion the major flaw
and lack of visionary thinking by both city and school leaders in the new
“Community Campus” is that youth sports were for the most part “deleted” with
no plan for integration now or in the future.
In keeping with tradition, the
leadership of WYF crafted a plan to migrate to Bird Street Park and develop a playing
field in a new portion of the park known as Fieldcrest. In fairness to the city, Fieldcrest had been
earmarked for youth football years before when the adjacent subdivision was
initially planned but WYF was never able to secure funding and execute building
a game field. In 2009, WYF boosters
worked with the city leaders and were able to build the field and move the
entire program to Old Bird, New Bird and Fieldcrest. The first games were played there in the 2009
season and have been every year since. In
another significant move, WYF launched a flag football program which uses the
same facilities each season. A group of
motivated parents met with WYF leadership and decided that WFY should integrate
flag football program into the current tackle football program. Again, the village rises to the occasion and
makes a positive impact on the community.
In the fall of 2009, I was
fortunate enough to be elected president of the boosters, and one of the first
things I wrote down in my goals was to develop a scholarship program. I failed
to get this done in my 2 year tenure. In
2012, some new leadership entered the WYF ranks to fill vacancies. Fortunately, the new leadership shared a lost
vision and was able to create a scholarship fund and successfully executed our
first scholarship event in July of 2013.
Once again, the village did not disappoint. In cooperation with the schools, scholarship
criteria was developed and implemented.
Financial commitments from our community were secured with overwhelming
support. Now, in the 2nd year, WYF will award at least 2
scholarships to Wadsworth High School graduates this coming August.
This is just another example of
“The Village” taking care of its own and as someone once said, “It takes a
Village”Thursday, May 29, 2014
From USA Football ... good advice from a football mom ...
What to do when your child doesn’t like the coach
Wed, 01/08/2014 - 9:50am
Throughout 21 years of sports parenting, we’ve dealt with at least 80 different coaches among our three kids. We’ve experienced every kind of coach you could imagine.
We’ve had coaches who try to please everyone and didn’t care about winning and coaches who cared way too much about winning and not enough about developing players.
We’ve had coaches who were high strung and emotional and coaches who only showed poker-faces and were very hard to read.
Yet even with the endless coaching personalities we’ve worked with, I’ve concluded that there are really only two kinds of coaches: the ones we liked and the ones we didn't.
If your child plays sports long enough, he will have both kinds. What will you do when your child comes home and says he doesn’t like his coach? Consider these steps:
- Let him voice his frustration to you without judging his feelings.
- Decide with your child about whether a confrontation with the coach is needed.
- If a coach confrontation does not resolve the problem, then you and your child may simply have to agree to disagree with the coach (unless there are moral issues).
- Keep your conversations about the coach between you and your child. Don't share your complaints with other parents.
- If you decide to disagree with the coach and remain on the team, then accept the situation without bad-mouthing the coach to your child.
- Find a way to vent your frustrations about the coach. Whether it's writing it down or sharing your feelings with your spouse or a friend (not two or three or four). Then leave it at home when you go to games.
- Teach your child to treat the coach with respect even if he has a problem respecting the coach.
What should you not do when your child doesn't like the coach?
- Stir up trouble behind the coach's back. If you have a problem, confront the coach face to face instead of behind his back.
- Try to get the coach fired. If you want to get a coach ousted because you do not like him, what exactly are you teaching your child? That we just get rid of people we don't like? I've known parents who complained to the administration and got a coach fired simply because their children were not playing the position they wanted.
If your child faces a season with a coach he does not like, help him learn to look for the good in his coach. This is a great opportunity for young athletes to learn how to work with someone who they find difficult. If they can learn this while they are young, they will have a head start in learning life skills to work with future bosses.

USA Football - Heads Up!
Source: USA Today ... USA Football
INDIANAPOLIS -- Class is in session in the new school of football. The focus is on teaching kids a safer way to tackle, easing the fears of parents alarmed enough about concussions to ask whether their sons should play at all and ensuring a now-thriving game has a future.
The faculty began taking shape here over the weekend. It includes Chuck Kyle, who in 30 seasons as coach at St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland has won 11 Ohio state titles and twice been named USA TODAY's National High School Coach of the Year.
"All of us feel that football is under attack a little bit right now with the concussion situation," says Kyle. "It's a game we all love, and I think there are a lot of coaches that say we're not going to stand back. We're going to fix it. We want to make sure that parents feel safe when they're sending their son to play the game.''
Kyle was among 19 invitees, most of them current or former high school coaches, who attended a weekend workshop to become "master trainers" in the "Heads Up Football" program being expanded this year by USA Football, a national youth organization based in Indianapolis.
They'll go around the country to run clinics for "player safety coaches," drawn from volunteers in youth football. Last year, USA Football ran pilot programs with safety coaches in three leagues in Virginia, California and Indiana. This year, the organization says it will expand to hundreds of youth organizations.
USA Football is partnered with the NFL and benefits from its largess. Heads Up is an opportunity for the NFL to demonstrate its commitment to safety just as it is being sued by more than 4,000 former players for allegedly failing to protect them from the dangers of concussions.
Scott Hallenbeck, executive director of USA Football, says he doesn't see the NFL being motivated by legal concerns though. "If people consider it self-serving to invest in USA Football, invest in ways to make the game better and safer, then so be it," he says.
Hallenbeck call this year's program a pilot, too, because for 100 youth football organizations taking part it will include a research study of attitudes about football and an injury study. He says about 300 other youth programs already are joining the Heads Up program but will not be included in the studies. Organizations are eligible for the program if all their coaches (including assistants) go through a USA Football online coaching certification at a cost of $5 per coach per year.
Hallenbeck says USA Football has been told by insurance provider AIG that it will discount rates to users of Heads Up. "This to me is one of the best endorsements we have. ... The insurance industry, they speak from the wallet," says Hallenbeck.
USA Football estimates there are about 3 million youth football players and 400,000 coaches nationwide. Pop Warner says it had about 275,000 players last season, and its executive director, Jon Butler, says that's about "about flat" from the previous year. Hallenbeck says there was a decline in youth participation nationally in the past year.
"Youth football dropped for the first time by 6%," Hallenbeck told trainees. "Parents are very concerned.''
'Guardians of the game'
Patrick Kersey, medical director for USA Football and former team doctor with the Indianapolis Colts, addressed the trainees. While noting that cycling is the leading cause of concussions around the world, he acknowledged there is a focus on football because of the high visibility of the NFL.
"We are the guardians of the game. … We're evolving. We have to evolve. If we don't, we are going to be yesterday's news," says Kersey, who has twin 7-year-old sons who play football.
The trainees got instruction on how to properly fit helmets and shoulder pads. Shoulder pads are key because USA Football wants them to be the primary striking point.
Another segment was devoted to recognizing signs of concussion and making sure a player gets clearance from a medical professional (versed in concussion treatment) before returning to play.
The trainees did role playing. In one exercise, a participant portrayed a high school assistant coach lobbying at halftime to keep his playing son, Bobby, in the game even though he might have had a concussion. "He stayed awake," says Bobby's dad. However, you needn't be knocked out to be concussed.
But concussions aren't always immediately apparent. Steve Specht, coach at St. Xavier High in Cincinnati and recent winner of the Don Shula NFL High School Coach of the Year award, recounted how he had a top receiver who had a great game and displayed no signs of concussion
Yet when Specht spoke to the player after the game, the player said, "Pleased to meet you." Specht said he was out the next three weeks with a concussion.
"It's some amazing how the body works, adrenalin, pressure, excitement, all of those things can sometimes mask some pieces of evaluating tools," said Kersey. "It may not have been a big deal until he slowed down. Sometimes, it's immediate. That's the one that we don't understand."
Rip vs. wrap
At the core of Heads Up is a style of tackling designed to take the head out of the equation for the tackler and player being tackled.
Andy Ryland, USA Football's manager of football development and former Penn State linebacker, used videos and personal demonstrations to show the trainees how to teach the tackling basics.
Ryland says phrases such as "bite the ball" (ram your face into the ball when hitting a runner) and "ear-holing" (smacking your helmet into a foe's earhole) are no longer acceptable. USA Football stresses keeping the head to the side while launching up and into the ball carrier and striking him with the front of the shoulders.
Ryland says another outdated maxim is "nose to the numbers." The idea used to be that if you kept your head up, you wouldn't break your neck. "Until they heard about that whole concussion part because like your brain is attached to your face," Ryland says.
One element of the USA Football tackling style may give coaches pause. It advises against wrapping the arms around the ball carrier. Instead, it wants tacklers to "rip" both arms upward in a double upper cut motion and grab the back of the jersey. The theory is when you wrap the arms, the head goes down and puts the head and neck at risk.
Gabe Infante, coach at St. Joseph's Prep in Philadelphia, says he likes the rip move because he's seen shoulder injuries such as torn labrums caused by wrapping the arms. "When the arms come away from the body, it works against your shoulder," Infante says.
Aaron Brady, coach at Gonzaga College Prep in Washington, D.C., says his school already does many of the tackling drills suggested by USA Football, which include non-contact work on the set-up and upward explosion from the hips required to tackle. But he says the rip is a challenge: "It's hard to teach kids to do that."
Kyle says his drills at St. Ignatius are similar to USA Football's. "We hardly have any live tackling drills," he says. "Short range, not much run-up to make the tackle. If we do something like the secondary to come up and break down for a tackle, we emphasize really almost a touch tackle."
Kyle took the podium to speak to his fellow participants. He discussed a newspaper article from 1905 he had found which called the brutality of the game and a string of fatalities "the death harvest." He says football responded then with safety measures.
"In a way, we kind of face that again today," Kyle says. "We have to realize that's it's under attack. …
I look at it this way, fellas, we are going to take a leadership role."
Tweets and teach
The trainees also got a tutorial in the use of Twitter and other social media to further the cause.
Twitter was new to most, but they know coaching and coach-to-coach communication.
They will conduct their clinics from April through July with aspiring safety coaches. For their efforts, they will receive stipends and expenses from USA Football.
Kyle says the motivation is belief in football. "If I sound patriotic a little bit, this is American football. … This our game," he says.
Participant Buddy Curry, former Atlanta Falcons linebacker, says the challenge ahead will be to get coaches young and old to buy into Heads Up.
"You need to get the new ones coming in to really focus on what's important. It's safety No.1." says Curry. "You have to talk to the older coaches and say, 'This is how it used to be done. … We have to change and we have to focus on the safety."
Sunday's training moved from the USA Football's offices to an indoor facility at St. Vincent Sports Performance. Instead of putting kids through the paces in tackling drills, the training participants did the drills themselves. One would act as the coach and instruct other as they ran between cones and collided with an assortment of pads.
"So we all get to laugh at each other," Ryland said at the start.
But the participants attacked it like the football guys they are. They didn't wear shoulder pads or helmets, but the techniques can be practiced without them because they're all about footwork, body angles and not using the head as the point of contact.
Kyle, from his knees, lunged forward over a pad with his arms coming forward to practice the hi-powered, upward "shoot" of making a tackle. He kidded afterward that he has a one-inch vertical leap.
"If I were 12 years old, I think it would have been more fun. But I'm 62 years old and I have certain parts of my body that remind me of that," says Kyle.
He said doing the drills will help him.
"We don't look like we're ready for August double sessions, but I think we all learned some of the frustrations maybe the kids will have," said Kyle. "I'm sure later on I'm going to be aching a little bit, but it was really a learning experience, and I think that will help us be better teachers."
