Body Echo

I first tried out for football with a friend; we were really too small for even the junior varsity team.  However, coach didn’t send us home, and for years he watched over us, and let us grow into the football players we would become.  This weekend I had a body echo as I heard him say, “Baun, go in and show them how it’s done”.  I would never be an offensive guard, but coach knew I always gave 120%.  After an almost perfect trap block I ran back to the sidelines, where he hit the top of my helmet, “Good job”.  I felt his hand again this weekend as I was thinking about what makes me special - I TRY.   What makes you special?
