This morning at Balloon Fiesta Park I saw several metro area high school football teams hanging out. Each team was hanging out together. I saw teams from La Cueva, Cibola, Eldorado, Volcano, Rio Rancho and a few others.
What stood out was how they all stood at attention when the national anthem was played at 7am this morning. They were not all together but close enough where I could see most of the schools.
The other thing I noticed was that most of them had on their letterman jackets and were dressed appropriately. They were well behaved. I used to see kids like this acting stupid before. None of these kids I saw acted out of the ordinary. It was noticable to my balloon team. I don't bring it up in my group. A lady on my team from Wyoming brought it up.
It was cool to see. I know parents have a lot to do with this but coaches do to.
Coaches need to hear about their kids publicly and be thanked. So thank you coaches for teaching these young athletes how to be young men.
