His father's eyes
Bob Richard,the former pole-vault champion,shares a moving story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart.
Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had.But being half the size of the other boys he got absolutely nowhere.At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played.This teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship.
Even though the son was always on the bench,his father was always in the stands cheering.He never missed a game.
This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school.But his father continued to encourage him,and made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn't want to.but the young man loved football and decided to hang in there.He was determined to try his best at every practice,and perhaps he 'd get to play when he became a senior.All through high school he never missed a practice or a game, but remained a bench warmer all four years.His faithful father was always in the stands,always with words of encouragement for him.
When the young man went to collage,he decided to try out for the football team as a walk-on.Everyone was sure he could never make the cut,but he did.The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because he always put his heart and soul into every practice,and at the same time,provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed.
the news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and call his father.His fathe shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the collage games.This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at collage,but he never got to play in a game.
It was the end of the senior football season,and as he trotted on to the practice field shortly before the big playoff game,the coach met him with a telegram and he became deathly silent.
Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, "My father died this morning.Is it all right if I miss practice today?"
The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said,"Take the rest of the week off,son.And don't even plan to come to the game on Saturday."
Saturday arrived,and the game was not going wel.In the third quarter,when the team was ten points behind,a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear.As he ran onto the sidelines,the coach and his players were astoundedto see their faithful teammate back so soon.
"Coach,please let me play.I've just got to play today,"said the young man.
The coach pretended not hear him.There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game.But the young man persisted,and finally feeling sorry for the kid,the coach gave in.
"All right,"he said."you can go in."
Before long, the coach,tha players,and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes.This little unknown,who had never played before was doing everything right.The opposing team could not stop him.He ran,passed,blocked,and tackled like a star.His team began to triumph.
The score was soon tied.In the closing seconds of the game,this kid intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown.The fans broke loose.His teammates hoisted him onto their shouders.Such cheering you've never heard!
Finally,after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room,the coach noticed that the young manwas sitting quietly in the corner all alone.
The coach came to him and said,"kid,I can't believe it.You were fantastic!Tell me what got into you?How did you do it?"
He looked the coach ,wither tears in his eyes,and said,"Well,you knew my dad died,but did you know that my dad was blind?''The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile,"Dad came to all my games,but today was the first time he could see me play,and I wanted to show him I could do it!"
