When the Game Stands Tall

              In when the game stands tall, the School De La Salle is in the end of their  off season/start of their 2002 season.  De La Salle is located in Southern California and holds the longest winning streak in High School Football, 151 wins.  Their coach Bob Ladouceur is considered the greatest High School Football coach of all time.  
                    Ladouceur lives in a media crazy world. I love when the book talks about Ladouceur talking to the media at press conferences because whenever they ask, "How is your team doing?" or "How is the team looking this year?"  He always responds with, "We're doing alright." or "We aren't doing to well." or "The teams looking okay, nothing special."  Which is funny and ironic because these meetings are usually the night before a game and after he says these comments, his team goes out and completely dominates the competition.  Ladouceur does not fit into his job in my opinion.  He is not the aggressive, harsh, football brilliant, tough coach that typically is behind all great teams.  Bob is a soft, yet well spoken, motivational speaker in the locker room, and at meetings.  He is pushy, but not aggressive and hard on his players.  He doesn't like to fire up his team or give them advice before a game, he loves to look for the leadership in his players and to see them fire each other up.  Bob is usually a lucky man when it came to getting the head coaching job and getting the commitment and faith from his players.  I think Ladouceur will lead his team to greatness and more repeated undefeated seasons/state championships.  I also think his new starting QB that is shy and thinks he is "unproven" will turn out an amazing player, and the incredible leader that Ladouceur is looking for.
