Having the seminar was a catharsis for everyone. Our senior leadership was the best I have ever had in 14 years of coaching. Consequently this is the most fun I have ever had as a coach. The phrases  Be An Eleven and  Today I Win are now a regular part of our vocabulary. <br>This year s season was a drastic turnaround from last year s winless campaign. Early in the season we lost three close games in a row to fall to a 1-4 record. Rather than throw in the towel, our kids rallied after those three heartbreaking losses and knocked off an undefeated team. We finished 4-5 and won our last game. <br>Our team knows that we could have easily been in the playoff hunt. Yet perhaps the greatest tribute to this group of kids is that they didn t dwell on what could have been or what we should have done, they focused on winning today.<br>Coach Shepard, your seminar made a profound impact on our players and coaches. It was the best financial investment our football program has ever made. We already have captains for next year s team. One of them came up with the idea to have stickers for our helmets with the number eleven. The kids all want to do this. Another captain wants to paint the number 11 in the weight room and the locker room. Our team will be committed to touch it as they pass. Thanks for helping us develop our vision for greatness!<br> <br>The coach sent me their football program book. Some of the players wrote a thank you note. I would like to share one of these from one of last season s captains: <br> Dr. Shepard, you influenced our team to the fullest, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep spreading your light. <br>In my quiet moments as I reflect on this experience, it is difficult to hold back the tears. I am so very thankful for coaches and kids like the players at this high school. May God bless our great country and help us all to Be An Eleven a little more often.<br>'m still not satisfied.&nbsp; When we were in Atlanta, some guy asked me.&nbsp; 'Now that you've gotten 25,000 points and 10,000 rebounds, do you feel like you want to caost for the rest of your career?'&nbsp; I looked at him and said, 'I don't even coast on my Harley.' I don't know what that word means.&nbsp; I believe in giving it everything I've got while I'm playing the game.&nbsp; When I'm done, I don't want to look back and say, 'I did coast that one year.'&nbsp; I'm not like that."<BR><STRONG><U>On progress:</U>&nbsp; </STRONG>"I want to improve every year, add a little more to my game.&nbsp; I don't want to be known as a player who just scored . . . I want to be remembered as well-rounded player who played the forward spot."<BR><STRONG><U>On year-round lifting</U>:</STRONG> "Sometimes people think you can just show up when training camp starts and start working out and conditioning in the weight room.&nbsp; I've always said my workouts in the summer are harder than any practce I've ever had and I try to prepare myself for that.&nbsp; I'm afraid not to do what I do now because it's been working for so many years.<BR>"In the summertime, I do take time to do things I like to do . . .
