As we waited for our new football coach to enter the locker room, we all secretly wondered what he would be like. would he be tough but fair? would he be demanding but understanding? would he motivate us before each game with a rousing speech the way coach jackson always had? these thoughts were abruptly interrupted when our new coach entered the locker room, stood before us, and commanded our attention.
