When your high school football coach surprises you and comes out to present you with an award .????????????. He drove 6 hrs tonight and said some really kind things about my work ethic. One that he taught me. He was a major influence in my life as a kid. Both as a father figure, disciplinarian, and coach. I learned a lot from him. Some I didn’t understand until later in life . “Everyday is a good day” is what he would say during every practice . Because we were given the luxury to have a day. A healthy day. A day where we could improve . And if we started the day saying that, it was a little more likely to happen. Thanks to Coach Gandolph for tonight and for a lot of how I feel about life.

When your high school football coach surprises you and comes out to present you with an award… (mindblown emojis) He drove 6 hrs tonight and said some really kind things about my work ethic. One that he taught me. He was a major influence in my life as a kid. Both as a father figure, disciplinarian, and coach. I learned a lot from him.
