My high school team participated in our championship game this past weekend. The outcome wasn’t the best for us. We lost a bid for our seventh consecutive Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship to Our Lady of Good Counsel. I would like to congratulate them on their first league title and a job well done. Our kids played their hearts out but we came up short, 14-7. You would think it would hurt less after winning six championships in a row, but no, it’s still tough losing that last game.

I have been with USA Football, the Official Youth Football Development Partner of the NFL, its 32 teams, and the NFL Players Association, for three years. During this time, I have traveled all over the country observing youth football leagues and meeting the selfless people who power them. You would be surprised to know that the game’s hot topics are very similar wherever you go: finances, coaching education, field space, and background checks are usually at the top of everyone’s list.
