8. EVERYTHING COUNTS!
Student/Athletes can & should be working right now for the 2019 Season:
“Little Things” added together become “Big Things”
Strength & speed development is crucial for all!
Student/Athletes who do ordinary things extraordinarily well stand out:
Academic work, staying out of trouble, attend team activities, work hard, be positive, commit to a cause larger than your own

9. Coach & Parent Objectives are the same – No Problem!
Problems can occur when Parent/Player Objective becomes:
1) college scholarship
2) featured role on the team
3) specific position/role on team
LT Football is a cause bigger than any one person, family or team member
Coach Thelen will decide who plays, who plays what position, & who gets the ball
Parents will play no role in that decision making process
Players are encouraged to seek out their position coaches to get questions or concerns answers. They then can approach me to discuss anything related to their situation.
After those two interactions, parents are welcomed to or call me to discuss any concerns related to their child.
