History

If I could go back in history to any point... I think I would go back to either Rome or Greece. There are certain aspects of their cultures that are awesome and yet terrible. The Spartans, the Macedonians, the Romans were all ahead of their times as far as militarily as well as politically. They Spartans fought as a unit. Shock and awe and brutality were their ways. The Macedonians and specifically Alexander the great were really the first group to use tactics. Alexander would retreat then turn on them as they pursued. or retreat on one side and have them overpursue and cut them off by flanking from the other side. The Romans used both of them. However, it was their name that caused their enemies to tremble. The battle/war was already over because they had an invincibility aura about them. The enemy knew that they were not able to win before the battle was even fought. Fear is something that can either work for you or against you. The ability to understand it and use it for your advantage is something I think can be very effective.

Four things a man must learn to do if he would make his life more true:

3) To act from honest motives purely
4) To trust in God and heaven securely

Control Play

Sometimes I feel like I am so lost. Football has always been a part of my life. For the past 3 months, the only thing I have been doing is coaching. Stressing... Gray Hairs... Thinking is non existent except about the pitch... No Escape... I am really starting to like my day job. It forces me to think... do different tasks... it is a great change of pace... also,  the last couple of days, I have been playing.. for me.. it has been a blast.. i actually have control over my little world on the pitch while over half the time im not sure what or where i am in life.. do i even want control? am i grasping for it? or am I just trying to avoid it? what is right? what do I want? am i doing what i do to make people happy or am I doing what I want...???
