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 Parview High 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 f 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>n for all the events, they tend to make a lot of friends and, she adds,their Bench Press and a 35% increase in the Towel Bench. All in just four months on the BFS Program! Seven players Towel Bench Press at least 300 pounds. The average varsity starter does 304 pounds. Six freshmen had an increase of 75% for an average of 219 pounds. The prior experience of these freshmen was none before beginning the BFS Program. It should be noted that Coach Cecchini s pitchers do not Bench Press to the chest but do the Towel Bench twice per week.<br>Coach Cecchini also has another excellent program feature. He has all the players sign a contract and the coaches in turn sign a tXls|+v!Y+MAt[:BQ-$2/3CL%}iITIt$e_R`\ JS}Z;ʌ쵙OQv-3E<_-Ia&),ou!5pMCރ)*/Kv獨5ō5MͯX5`{U^zP,3B;M~&?M[v"ۅl dɸDܺJn*8HROOJ2s/Um JEH|:t5 b9 ~Co۩R.]3GN$.)8bÕs_o%dьgx-$_/RGjEGltSbە)F\sxC-E+20q)IR oDz7*IÉ$: fh\2рDZ1>#i*n.xSRGg]AYpa+gF 0Eڭ "kb5 oP-TI{sFf0u[KͫNm n[{9~t=_flwQӂ# O-:p9_:pmB%[ N f>DݸjM{l%|_gCBPb1Qԃ:Kk;ώBQO_qns}#a9tNQH?gȀAI6~yy5߭JO2E~^VPXlZe͞c #ob:qs$ۄ|\S7~|Bpk*HxMd|:d۲P2Fr3^GyPxȒGfQ˷rY_HWDF,(Pv
