High school football players often have loads of respect for their coaches, especially position coaches who interact with them for hours each day.
But in this video from a Southaven, Mississippi high school football coaches office, a group of linemen showed their support for their coach battling cancer by shaving all of their heads. Then they paraded into the office and each gave him a hug in this video from Bleacher Report and @michaelhullett3 on Twitter.
“All for you, coach,” they said repeatedly.
As much as people follow the wins and losses, recruiting and stats in football, moments like these show the true meaning of why players and coaches get together. They no doubt spend countless hours year round, from offseason weight lifting, to summer conditioning and late nights during the season watching video of an upcoming opponent.
The coach will absolutely feel that support as he continues his cancer fight.
“All for you, coach.”
Their coach had cancer so the O-line shaved their heads with him. Powerful 🙏
