I coach out in Stockton/Lodi. We play in the DYSA. My son plays d-line/o-line because he is an x-man. Not fat, he is just a big boy (10 years old). He has been beasting the last few practices, decleating kids literally. Not just the little RB's either, but some big boys in the trenches. My thing is effort, effort, effort. As long as the kids give their all, there is nothing to be ashmed of at the end of the day/game.
My son has been a gentle giant the last few years but something clicked this year for real. I can't do nothing but keep a shit grin on my face when he beasts like he has been the last few practices. Our Jamboree is the 13th.
