WHAT DO YOU SAY AFTER A TOUGH GAME?
THE GAME ENDS. THE CONVERSATION DOESN'T.
“The ride home is snack time, not film study.”
“Be the face they find when they look up. Not the voice they hear when they mess up.”
“You are not watching a season. You are watching childhood happen.”
“Nobody gets bigger by making someone smaller.”
