This teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a

very special relationship. Even though the son was always on the bench,

his father was always in the stands cheering, He never missed a game.

 

This young man was the smallest of the class when he entered high

school. But his father continued to encourage him, but also made it

very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn't want to.

But the young man loved football and

decided to hang in there. He was determined to try his best at every

practice,

perhaps he'd get to play when he became a senior. All through high

school he never missed a practice nor a game, but remained a bench

warmer all these four years.

His faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of

encouragement for him. When the young man went to college, he decided

to

try out for the football team as a " walk-on. " Everyone was sure he

could never make the cut, but he did.

The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because he always

puts

his heart and soul to every practice, and at the same time, provided

the

other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed. The news

that his friends had survived the cut

thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his

father.

 

His father shared his excitement too.This persistent young athlete

never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never

got

to play in a game. It was the end of his senior football season, and as

he trotted onto the practice field shortly before the big play off

game,

the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and

he became silent. Swallowing hard,he mumbled to the coach, " My father

died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today? " The

coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, " Take the rest

of the week off, son.

And don't even plan to come back to the game on Saturday. " Saturday

arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter, when

the

team was ten points

behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room

and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach

and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so

soon. " Coach, please let me play. I've just got to play today, " said

the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him.There was no way he

wanted his worst player in this close playoff game.

But the young man persisted. Finally feeling sorry for the kid, the

coach gave in. " All right, " he said. " You can go in. " Before long, the

coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their

eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before was doing

everything right. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he

passed, blocked and tackled like a star. His team began to triumph. The

score was soon tied.

In the closing seconds of the game, this kid intercepted a pass and ran

all the way for the winning touchdown. The fans broke loose. His

teammates hoisted him onto

their shoulders. Such cheering one've never heard! Finally, after the

stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room,

the coach noticed that

the young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone. The coach

came to him and said, " Kid, I can't believe it. You were fantastic!

Tell

me what got into you?

How did you do it? " He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and

said, " Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was

blind? " The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, " Dad came to

all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play,and I

wanted to show him I could do it! "
