I am a big Ohio State Buckeyes fan and this year has been a great ride especially with only a few days to the Biggest showdown in College football history with #1 & #2 (The state up north) meeting to decide who wins the conference and goes to the National title game. One thing that truly seperates the Buckeyes is their coach Jim Tressel. He is a class act that trickles down into the players lives. He is not only interested in winning football games, but in making his players better people. Case and point, Troy Smith. When Troy arrived from Cleveland he was a little rough (maybe a lot rough) around the edges. He made a couple of unwise decisions that put him on the sidelines for a while. But coach Tressel could see greatness inside of Troy and has helped him achieve it. Now after several years with Tressel, when you hear Troy Smith talk you hear a mature, unselfish team player who is better off in life as a person because someone took the time and risk to believe and work with him.
What about you? Who is in your realm of influence that is a diamond in the rough? Perhaps the decision you make whether or not to get involved in their lives could change their history and those they have influence over.
Just some thoughts to ponder. Go Buckeyes stomp the team up north!
