Early in the season we lost three close games in a row to fall to a 1-4 record. Rather than throw in the towel, our kids rallied after those three heartbreaking losses and knocked off an undefeated team. We finished 4-5 and won our last game. <br>Our team knows that we could have easily been in the playoff hunt. Yet perhaps the greatest tribute to this group of kids is that they didn t dwell on what could have been or what we should have done, they focused on winning today.<br>Coach Shepard, your seminar made a profound impact on our players and coaches. It was the best financial investment our football program has ever made. We already have captains for next year s team. One of them came up with the idea to have stickers for our helmets with the number eleven. The kids all want to do this. Another captain wants to paint the number 11 in the weight room and the locker room. Our team will be committed to touch it as they pass. Thanks for helping us develop our vision for greatness!<br> <br>The coach sent me their football program book. Some of the players wrote a thank you note. I would like to share one of these from one of last season s captains: <br> Dr. Shepard, you influenced our team to the fullest, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep spreading your light. <br>In my quiet moments as I reflect on this experience, it is difficult to hold back the tears. I am so very thankful for coaches and kids like the players at this high school. May God bless our great country and help us all to Be An Eleven a little more often.<br>m always gaining on my competition. The magazine also inspires me because it tells me about some of the troubles that many outstanding athletes have had to overcome. In fact, his strong work ethic is the reason he prefers not to have training partners. <br> When I work out I like to get everything done, and then do extra. Whenever I work out with a partner, we have to change weights too much and it just takes up too much time. I like being by myself, pushing myself, and whenever I need a spotter I call on my dad to come over and help me out. As for his expectations for this work ethic, his immediate goals include squatting 500 pounds and running 4.3 in the 40.<br> One person who inspires Cole is his brother, who is now at Central Missouri focusing on his pre-med studies.  He s very supportive of me, says Cole.  When he was in high school, we would compete against each other and get little attitudes; but whenever he was on that field, all I did was focus on him. And that is the way he is with me now. He calls me almost every night, and e talk football and he helps me out. He is my main role model  he is the one who convinced me that I could do all this. <br>When asked who he would like to thank for helping him achieve his goals, Cole answered like a true Eleven:  I thank God and my family, because God is the one who made it all possible and it s my family who pushed me to do it. press, I called the girls to find out what the effects of our mini-clinic were on their lifting program. Here is what they said: <STRONG>Lindsey: /STRONG>We worked really hard after you left. We could really tell the difference. It was neat showing other people how to do the lifts. <STRONG>Brianne: </STRONG>We learned a whole lot. enow watch others and can easily pick out their mistakes. <STRONG>Cherisse: </STRONG>It's a lot easier to do it now. We notice a difference. Sometimes we tell the guys about their mistakes. It makes me feel cool that I now know what to look for.&nbsp;</P> <P>We thank Coach Brad Smith who has developed athletes who are self reliant and have such a wonderful atti
