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 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 yor 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>8ߗہ@9ʘw7!Ѥ:F?M㔁Dd9fVc4 ݀VhH X *޴`mᛈcDO3.^OM?3`J{/Rgԯ>}Vٍz!Z۪gWG9n{Ք~5v'2DOaŷ|ن&h޵ow؉U緧5ҸM5֧2XS#T;D?._0/-C%bվ%;7oјS81:uɈ&bEH|lamue"ZGn #'u+l)z*;*GsyoZծ,k{bCdSyaGa6$$QHI*eqIf1#hTzL{ٴr$1GU ^(7͖֚S[{y[+7wS9,0Mt!3!&a֣bg%:vgcbA#꿐r=Re{Q"5U*Gpw[ʦo(E0`)#74ħq$7lG9|x٘WŴBOѓ-P?(rkM:[u"#S܁_y^a}jI'Ž(wũqm,C_2iwz(@\  `(86- *Kh[1U>[[yW[F?ct%ym/ qr4;eyOl-Fj2܂MP%rcq|g;l%U8|it+G8MOQƅe_*iAo<3$P'Oo`{ip>ZV36,18u^'gX8>rí Me4clf^Kw2(ZhE)k{z:ݡKI fb *?^J<~Sfz遵 cN*Bsgk[}zA O eOV22_lcuY [eֹ3j0'n %(Է?K!xd~⃏\=weípO4C [}I۵?Y';2-4reminder that every athlete can benefit from a coach s skills and influence.
