DENNIS FRITZ, It’s Tuesday night after the annual Powder Puff football game. I’ve just gotten home and am reflecting on the past two weeks of preparation for the big game. Although the team I coached lost, the reflections are pleasantly memorable. It all began with a small group of junior girls practicing on their own after school. They were enthusiastic and enjoyed playing flag football. I was asked by the leader of the group if I would coach them. To be honest my first thought was no because the girls seemed to be set in their ways, but I decided to give it a go. We met several times before official practice began to talk about football and the strategies involved. The girls listened intently and were very enthusiastic. Then we began official practice! To be fair to everyone involved, I CONTRIBUTING WRITER required attendance at practices. The girls were very dedicated and fun to teach. They caught on very quickly to the offense and defense. Just prior to the big game we had a scrimmage and both sides did well. Then the night of the big game. I told the girls before the game, it would be close and penalties and turnovers would probably make the difference. In the end this statement was to haunt us. In retrospect, I was and am very proud of the effort the girls put out from Day 1, and including the game. My one failure was my inability to help the girls feel the intensity and roughness of the game, prior to the game itself. Next year they will understand this. This will be the difference that makes a winner on the scoreboard although they were winners in effort and desire. They were great!
