He agrees with Whitley that it s essential for his athletes to work hard year-round in the weight room, and he subscribes to the motto  You don t make a first down on what you did the year before. <br> It seems that every year we get one of the marquee players who will intercept, say, 15 passes and catch 60 balls on offensive, and people think that s the reason we win, says Flowe.  But this is not the case with us because when those types of players graduate, we still come back the next year and win again. Our success is a testament to how hard our players work and how much they believe in our system, our staff and each other. <br><br><br>BE GRATEFUL<br>Panther assistant coach Steve Brooks focuses on the things that matter<br>by Dr. Greg Shepard<br>Years ago I did some BFS <br>Clinics at two high schools in Georgia where Steve Brooks was a successful football head coach. Now he is he backfield coach for Parkview Hgh School, which has one of the winnings football programs in the country. When I contacted Steve recently to set up this article, he asked me if I remembered him. Here is what I wrote to him:<br> Coach Brooks, I have always held you in high esteem as a coach and as a man. But it is your example as a father that I cherish most about our acquaintance. I will always remember looking down at your son Craig in his crib when I stayed in your home. I was overcome and lifted by the Holy Spirit. <br>You see, at this same time I also had a son who was just a baby in a crib. My son, Mark, was healthy. Steve s son was born without eyes or an esophagus. In addition, Craig s brain was not fully functional nor would it ever be normal. It was suggested that Craig be placed under institutional care where he wasn t expected to live very long. Some even hinted at just letting little Craig pass on. However, to Steve and his wife Carol, their son was special and God s gift to them. Craig would be raised at home and be greatly loved. I was filled with emotion and gratitude for two things: First, for my son being healthy and second, for Steve s wonderful example. <br>On the recommendations of Dr. Charley Howell, Craig went through several operations and survived. Recently, Coach Brooks gave me an update and sent me a photo of his son. Craig will be 17 this June; my son Mark will turn 17 in July. Craig can hold hands with his dad and walk around the track. He smiles and can even say a few words. Steve credits his wife Carol as the one who has made Craig s life what it is today.  She has done all of the hard work, he said.  Craig s special ed teacher April has also been a true miracle worker. <br>As I looked at the photo and pondered over life s bigger picture, I reflected upon the importance of gratitude and families.<br>I finished my letter to Steve:  I know that in the afterlife Craig s body and mind will be restored. I know he will thank you for being the father that you are. Families are a forever thing. Later, Steve called me and told me he has the same feelings. <br>It s a good time now to remember our families and treasure them. Time to take a few moments to think beyond our everyday problems and focus on the big picture. <br><br>Time to be grateful.<br>xibility programs or philosophies floating around the high school. No wonder kids are confused.&nbsp;</P> <P>What is the best way to get an athlete to run faster? We don't care if he's running for a touchdown, executing a fast break or stealing a base. Whatever gets us from point "A" to point "B" the fastest is what we all should be doing! Whatever gets us to jump the highest in the quickest and most explosive way is what we all should be doing!&nbsp;</P> <P>If I were a baseball coach, I would do Power Cle
