INSPIRATION From COACH BOWLES...

Well this has got to be the coolest little Blog. There is a tremendous sense of pride here that is undeniably the spirit of the Dirty Birds at work. Thanks to all who put this together.

On Saturday we will enter the football field to accomplish the next step as a strong team capable of anything as we work together, 23 young men all together as the West Point Dirty Birds. Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing- Abraham Lincoln.

As a man believes so he will act.
EACH OF YOU READING THIS, BELIEVE YOU ARE A CHAMPION BECAUSE YOU ARE!! Enter that football field on Saturday and let them know that you are a champion. Champions Play 100%, 100% of the time. A champion never says he can't, a champion never gives up, and a champion does not stop until the last whistle blows. A champion plays through any fear and does it with a smile on his face, A Champion Hits like a freight train just for the fun of it. And at the end of the game champions win or lose always congratulates his opponent for a fair game and holds his head high. SO GO OUT AND WIN YOUR DIVISION AND DON'T FORGET TO HAVE FUN. THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE!

To the Fans I know without a doubt you are Champions, Thank you for all your hard work and response to my email. I promise you have already made a difference. Show up Big for your Dirty Birds on Saturday and watch them soar!!!!!!!!!!!!

God Bless each of you, Go Dirty Birds!!!

  1. Today was a very tough loss for us. I appreciate you parents. Today you sure showed up Big. Let’s not forget we still have another game left and there is possibility to go onto the playoffs. Today I am reminded of a quote from Rocky Balboa. He embodied the spirit of never giving up.

    “Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!”- Rocky

    Dirty Birds Tuesday brings a new week for us and another chance at excellence. Show up ready to prepare for our next game. Just because you had a loss today does not mean you are not a champion you are still champions in my mind. God bless each of you and have a great weekend.
