Unfortunately my own career as a professional takes priority, but I decided to take this chance and coach up my old high school's current football team, and I didn't hold back!
The school is just as good at football as it was when I was there (okay, maybe not *as* good as when I was playing). They knew that they were good though, so I had to step in and humble them in their last practice before the game. I covered every receiver in drills and then played receiver to show the defensive backs everything they lacked. They might've all resented me after practice, but once the Friday night lights kicked on, they locked in and shut down the opposing team. My team made the other team look like middle schoolers the way they were toying with them. Trucking players, pancaking them, swatting balls left and right, and coming down with one-handed catches in the end zone was enough to make their home crowd so excited that they almost couldn't wait until the end of the game to storm the field. No, seriously. Two seniors in the crowd actually stormed the field with 40 seconds left in the 4th quarter and had to be escorted out of the stadium...
Anyways...
With a decisive 38-0 victory, I coached my old high school to its 10th win of the season after generating 5 interceptions on the defensive end and 0 turnovers on the offensive end! The boys made me proud, and I know they'll continue the legacy I left behind and leave behind their own for the players after them to continue.
