The less obvious hurdle is that of preparing parents emotionally and putting forward realistic images of parenthood and motherhood. There also needs to be some sort of acknowledgement that not everyone should parent – when...

There have been so many small victories I’ve been able to do because I have kids actually in school. I bring a perspective on the board that’s needed and welcomed.

Most of the time, it felt like my father and I were completely different species. Possibly literally, depending on the day and whether or not I actually qualified as human at the time.

That’s something Carla really values. … She’s really into making sure the kids are able to identify with what they’re learning.

I’ve seen it before, where kids start believing they can stop you on the goal line, and they make a habit of it. That’s two times we’ve done it, and today was really big.

It was surprising that almost one half were previously healthy. We don’t know if there’s something about these healthy kids that put them at extra risk.

I was worried about some type of letdown, but the kids look focused.

If you get those kind of results, I’m going to build the machines. There’s enough passion and enough kids that are able to do things they were not able to do before that justifies it.

I’m very fortuante to work with some great coaches and coach some great kids. It’s a heck of a ride for me and makes my job really enjoyable.

More kids? It’s possible,

They aren’t as deep, but those kids that are out there know they are going to be out there. They’re a very athletic team, long and rangy. I think they’re a very confident team. They...

Look at what we have here. These kids have great leadership, and they’ve worked all winter, and spring for a day like this.

Sometimes kids want parents to put the brakes on for them.

We keep telling the kids that this is a 32-minute game. We’ve been putting 16 minutes together, you know, we play well for a half. We just let the game get away in the second...

We’re trying to tell our kids the Ds are not going to be a picnic.

In older kids it’s not a big deal. In younger kids it’s very serious or can become very serious.

It’s like I tell little kids – cheaters never win.

I’ve never lived my life in the opinion of others. I believe I’m a good person. I believe I’m a good mom. But that’s for my kids to decide, not for the world

The dog growled again, long and ferocious. The hair on my neck tingled.And just when I knew he would attack, a horrible scream split the air, and Darlene passed out and fell over on her...

That’s probably the best game I’ve coached in 20 years in terms of performance, the way the kids came through. Going down 10, that’s the kind of team they are, right from the gut. They...

I was expecting like 10 kids to show up. It’s exciting. A few of the kids came up afterward and said, ‘This is so great, this is something I’ll remember.’ Hopefully, it’s something they’ll be...

Money-it can buy your kids anything, but it cannot teach them love, respect, and the true value of living life without things.

When you say you get 130 or 140 high school kids together, people say you must be insane.

Disappointment is part of parenthood, Jasper. The trick is learnin’ to love your kids even when they disappoint you.

It’s because high school kids are getting better and better. The quality and quantity is getting better. Players are going to different schools now, not just the top two or three teams. They’re willing to...

He’d never wanted kids. Outside of priority boarding on an airline, he couldn’t see the upside to them. They took over your life and filled you with terror and weariness and people acted like having...

A bounce here, a bounce there, and we win. This was a tough one to lose. The kids played their hearts out and gave everything they had. I?m really proud of this group.

They don’t miss on too many guys. Generally with the top kids in Arizona, if Arizona wants them, that’s usually where they end up.

The reality of the game was what happened last night. Our kids worked so hard to put themselves back into the game last night, and then to lose like we did in overtime, it’s human...

I’m looking forward to maybe bringing in some more kids who have that talent level. There’s just no telling where this program can go.

When I have children I want an even number of boys and girls, and that’s why I want 15 kids—7 boys, 7 girls, and one hermaphrodite named Sam.

I couldn’t be more proud of the kids. They just kept gutting it out. They made plays when they needed to.

Conflict is growth trying to happen.

Thing about boats is, you can always sell them if you don’t like them. Can’t sell kids.

We’re banged up after the individual state tournament.. But these kids have been resilient all year long and we’ve battled through a lot this season.

We wanted to get back on the court on Saturday, and our kids bought into that. They were excited to play. We didn’t pout about Friday; we were ready to play Saturday.

I think children have a degree of wisdom totally unknown by adults

Those two kids are special. And the new rules are going to be exciting for them.

As we approached each other, the noise and the students around us melted away and we were utterly alone, passing, smiling, holding each other’s eyes, floors and walls gone, two people in a universe of...

It’s fascinating. These kids do so incredibly well. I just can’t even imagine how confused I would be.

The meet was outside, and a lot of the kids were sick. So things were a little different.

We are going to treat it as a normal week just like any other game. Obviously, our kids know it’s homecoming, but as a football team, we haven’t even talked about it.

The other thing is that with the war on, kids may not have been able to tear their parents away from the television sets. That could have been a factor for some chains, like Hot...

I didn’t tell the kids this, but pulling into today this was really a must-win for us if we were going to stay in the conference race. You go down two games to them and...

It’s a good feeling for the kids. We finally get that 0-2 monkey off our back. It was nice for them to understand if we execute and use proper technique we can have some success.

The kids did a great job. We couldn’t quite get over the hump in the second half, but they battled to the end.

When you know truly know just how much God loves you it won’t matter when others don’t and if you know truly know God accepts you it won’t matter when others won’t

I subbed too early on offense. In that first half we played 34, 35 kids. It was nice to get so many kids on the field, but sometimes a positive can turn into a negative...

I would think they could more easily absorb an additional 35 kids than we could handle a remote facility.

My parents won’t let me have a motorcycle, but they give me all the guns I want. I asked them for a motorcycle last Christmas and they told me I’d only kill myself. They got...
