Bullet- point list of advice for a coach to give to athlete:

1. Play for the love of the game and only the love of the game.

2. If all your friends are athletes, you are shallow.

3.A real athlete never misses a game or a practice for a dance, a concert or Senior Skip Day.

4. Humility is a virtue. False humility makes you a bore.

5.Your coach doesn’t have it in for you. Repeat, your coach doesn’t have it in for you.

6.A good captain will lead his team to a Super Bowl title. A great one will take a stand against hazing.

7. It’s never too late to change.

8.The size of your nose, biceps or breasts is inconsequential to anybody who truly cares about you.
