Coach Eric J. Moore

Philosophy Statement

My philosophy on life and the way we approach our day to day activities comes from a belief that we all have "THE CHAMPION THAT LIVES INSIDE". Unless you can overcome the obstacles that life throws at you, you will spend your life in great pain, fear, and disappointment. Unless you can call upon the courage, strength, and perseverance that you were given at birth, THE CHAMPION INSIDE will wither away and die... This CHAMPION inside is not awakened by money or success, but by reaching deep inside your soul for the desire to ride through the difficult and troubling times in our lives. You must take that chance and believe in yourself and family to succeed with courage and perseverance.

Football Mission Statement

"Isn't it ironic" that football, fully steeped in a rich and lengthy tradition is perhaps one of the most enriching counter-cultural endeavors in today's society. Where society teaches individual goals, football teaches teamwork. Where society teaches haughtiness, football teaches caring.

Where society often shows us hatred and dissension, football creates love and trust.
