All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.
—T. E. Lawrence,
The Seven Pillars of Wisdom

Pirate, I saw a video story on this guy last year. What this article doesn't tell was the focus of the report I saw. Coach memorizes tendancies and formations of opposing teams extremely well. He knows what the other team is going to do before they do it and relays that to the coordinaters before the play happens. Amazing story. I love reading the stories like this. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting.

There are sports programs all over the country that have people that they let be part of their programs like coach Black. It's what makes sports so great.
