Tough Guy

"I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down!"

Nicky's coach made a comment that reminded me of the song lyrics above. He said that Nicky was the toughest kid on the team.

Not the fastest, mind you.

Not even the most talented, and that's okay.

Because when it comes down to it, football should be all about GRIT. According to Nicky's coach, no matter how many times he gets knocked down, or tackled, he just pops right up again and tries again. He wasn't always in the game this year. It's his first year, and he played a lot of second string. But when he was in, he gave his all. And that's quite an accomplishment for a tough little 8 year old.

You go, Nick!
