For me the convention has meant exposure to some of the great minds, spirits and personalities that have left a mark on this game and profession that I love. It has meant time spent with opposing coaches in a sharing atmosphere that allows for bonding, fellowship and respect. It is also a time to reflect on the values and integrity of the game and our profession, and to recall that we each are responsible for its care and preservation. If we do not protect and defend our game and profession, then who will? In closing I would like to thank each one of you, the members of the AFCA, for your support and for the privilege of serving as your president this year.
