Star’s Football Family-

Coach’s Message 

Well, like it or not the start of our 2020 school year is here.  As a parent of two d303 students I can relate to the feelings of uncertainty, doubt and anxiousness that many of you may be feeling. We all should have certain inalienable rights as human beings. Safety and health are at the top of that list.  Unfortunately, at this current time both of those foundational elements have been compromised. It has left me searching for answers to how I can best navigate both my football and nuclear famillty through this. 

Agency

Def: the sense of being a cause rather than an effect. 

I feel that this event has taken away much of our personal armature as individuals. The jobs, hobbies, interest, beliefs and day to day actions that served to distract or comfort us have been taken away for the most part and left many of us in very vulnerable positions. This vulnerability can be extremely uncomfortable for many, including myself, but I encourage you to have compassion for yourself and allow the complexity of the situation to be accepted.  It is important for us to talk to ourselves and be our biggest supporter.  We teach this same message to our players in terms of how we compete. Consistent self encouragements can give a a sense of agency.   It may give us the control that we are looking for and the inspiration to be an agent of cause versus an agent of effect. The adversity is here and it is bearing down on all of us. I leave you  with this. 

“The more powerful the force bearing down on you, the more important it is to find a sense of agency” – The Resilient Mind
