BOLTS READ PLEASE

[lfenum]

HEY FELLAS I JUST WANTED TO CONTINUE THE TREND OF PICKING A STANDOUT INDIVIDUAL FROM THE T-BOLT ORGANIZATION. THIS WEEK WOULD HAVE TO GO TO COACH SWAIN WHO WAS JUST PUT IN CHARGE AS THE NORTHWEST RECRUITING DIRECTOR FOR TEAM USA IT TAKES A LOT OF HOURS ON AND OFF THE GRIDIRON TO GET THAT POSITION AND VERY WELL DESERVES IT. AS LONG AS IVE KNOWN COACH SWAIN HE HAS BEEN A STAND OUT PERSON AS A PLAYER AND AS A COACH. HE REALLY WORKS AT WHAT HE DOES. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY LOTS OF PEOPLE HAS FAMOUS MENTORS BUT HE WOULD HAVE TO BE ONE OF MINES. HE IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I AM COACHING. HE HAS LOTS OF LOVE FOR THE GAME MORE THAN ANY OTHER PERSON I KNOW. EXAMPLE WE DON'T GET PAID FOR THE THINGS THAT WE DO BUT HE CHOOSES TO DRIVE FROM SALEM EVERY PRACTICE AND GAME BECAUSE HE LOVES THIS GAME SO MUCH AND HE BELIEVES IN YOU GUYS AS PLAYERS, FATHERS,SONS,AND ROMODELS. HE DESERVES A LOT MORE RESPECT THAN PEOPLE REALIZE IT. HE ALSO HAS A BIG HEART ALWAYS MAKING SURE PEOPLE HAS RIDES TO PRACTICE IF HE CANT PICK THEM HE WILL FIND A RIDE FOR THEM, HE ALWAYS WILL CALL YOU UP AND MAKE SURE YOUR OK IF YOUR INJURED OR NOT HE NEVER LEAVES A FALLEN SOLIDER BACK HES NEVER KNOWN TO AND NEVER WILL THAT IS JUST HIS PERSONALITY. BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS IF HE CANT MAKE IT TO PRACTICE ITS BECAUSE HE HIS REALLY SICK OR HIS KIDS ARE, THAT IS HOW DEDICATED THIS MAN IS. OF COURSE HE LIKES TO BE CALLED THE BOBBY BOWDEN OF SEMI PRO FOOTBALL BUT WE ALL KNOW WHO TOOK THAT TITLE FROM HIM LOL... ANYWAYS COACH SWAIN YOUR A GENTLEMAN AND A SCHOLAR AND YOU DESERVE THIS RECOGNITION FOR ALL THE BLOOD,SWEAT,AND TEARS YOU'VE PUT IN THIS ORGANIZATION AS WELL AS THIS LEAGUE.
GOD BLESS

You got class Lionel. I agree with your assessment on Coach Swain and have noticed in part you are doing the same thing keep it up both of you!

[Coach Swain]

Lyonel,

Thank you very much! I am just now seeing this I have had a terrible sinus infection and havent been checking the board!

I really appreciate the kind words and its that kind of stuff that makes all of the hard work worth it.

I have been with you from the very beggining and I am proud of how far you have come as a person and as a coach. You have worked hard to take steps to learn your craft attending coaching clinics this year with me and coach Davis and I know you are going to make a wonderful coach in the future. The aren't many people that I've ever met that are more selfless and committted to their team than Lyonel. Yes, you have earned the Bowden tag as well. You deserve recognition and it means a lot to me that you took the time to say something nice about me!

Coach Swain

What about me!! I said kind words too! CU tomorrow coaches!

[Coach Swain]

I'm sorry Nick and yes you did! If it weren't for the support from people like U-Dub (Nick) there is no way I could continue to coach in this league! You are both dear friends and people who I value very much in my life! I appreciate all that you have done for me and my family! In life many times there are people that work longer and harder........ they go that extra mile. Nick is a person that does so many things behind the scenes that nobody knows about! He is a good person, a great friend, and an amazing teammate! I believe you can play on Sundays some day in the near future Nick. Keep working hard and I know it's within your reach!


Nick also has a bright future in coaching and really understands what it takes to have success. I have heard nothing but great things from Anthony about Nick, Justin, and Lyonel as coaches. We have set out on a path with big goals and dreams. There aren't two people that I'd rather go to war with and I know I can count on both of you always! I hope you both know you can count on me if you ever need anything!
