Football Lessons and the Turkey Bowl

Mike Robbins

This Saturday, our ward hosted an enrichment that taught the basics of football. I love cheering for football players, trash talking, and playing outdoors. However, I am not proficient when it comes to football since I have not played that often. But this year we will be having a football game on Thanksgiving and I needed to brush up on my skills so I can dominate the field (yeah right.) I learned to catch with my hands close together, throw a spiral, and run a few key plays thanks to my coach.

Our football coach, Kyle Tew, giving an inspirational pep talk

Then it was time for the main event. My ward held their own turkey bowl. There were three different games going on at the same time. My job: a scout for the teams. As people would arrive I would place them on a team. I saw many good players. I was most impressed with Mike Robbins. He asked not to be mentioned in this blog posting.....due to his praiseworthy humility. However, his football skills are dynamite. He throws a beautiful spiral, is strong on defense, and a good sport. However, the best part about this young man is that he cheers for all. What a great football player, what a great person!!! Mary's job was to act as a football team owner. She did a great job building morale. All in all it was a fun time. I feel somewhat prepped for my own Thanksgiving bowl and believe that I will win. However, if I do not win, I have an example of good sportsmanship in Mr. Mike Robbins.

A few thoughts:

1. Miss Beal earned the right to refreshment.

2. Don't introduce yourself to a donut if you don't earn it...just saying.

3. I wear knee high blue socks and I get one picture...ONE??

4. PBD - Pick Six - ask him about it.
