We came across this great article last fall from USA Football. We especially like what Nebraska head coach, Matt Rhule,\u00a0 said about youth football coaches in an interview with the organization,<\/p>\n
\u201cYouth football head coaches have to remember that they\u2019re the ones who will determine whether a young person loves playing or not. Having a great coach who teaches you to love the game and love to practice, that\u2019s what will keep people involved. If they get to me in college, that means they had a great high school coach, which means that they had a great junior high coach and a great youth coach. Coaches make players fall in love with the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
