Coach's Award

" . . . as voted on by all the coaches. This player demonstrates commitment, a positive attitude, and is hard working. He stands out in dedication and athleticism. Basically if we could have 40 of any one player who would it be?"

Congratulations Steven!

About a month ago Steven gave a talk in Sacrament Meeting on the subject of patience. He referred to the April 2010 conference talk by Elder Uchtdorf: 

"I learned that patience was far more than simply waiting for something to happen—patience required actively working toward worthwhile goals and not getting discouraged when results didn’t appear instantly or without effort. There is an important concept here: patience is not passive resignation, nor is it failing to act because of our fears. Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can—working, hoping, and exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed. Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!"

Steven shared his experience as a first year bantam football player (in 2009) and the active patience it required to be in the youngest age group on the team, second string, but how the payoff came this season where he had the opportunity to play almost every minute of every game.


I think Steven earned this award from his first practise that first year of Bantam. Nice work Steve.
