Those who love football know that inside this great game lies a Greater Game, one that instills powerful life lessons in young men. But that truth is being lost and it’s up to all of us — coaches, players and fans — to promote the real story. We’re asking you to join us in championing the Greater Game. Together, we can change the national conversation around football

1. WILL YOU CHAMPION
THE GREATER GAME?

2. FOOTBALL HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT MORE THAN THE FINAL SCORE.
You know the importance of football. You know how valuable the game is in developing teenagers into strong, young men. Not just
physical strength, but the strength of character. That story has gotten lost in popular culture. But those of us who love football
know that inside this great game lies an even Greater Game; a game anchored in values and character that brings people together,
to make not just teams, but whole communities stronger. The Greater Game is why we play, coach and love football. And that’s
the message our entire community must support right now.

3. THE VALUE OF FOOTBALL STARTS WITH THE VALUES WITHIN FOOTBALL.
Anyone who has played this game, who has endured a season’s worth of training and study and hard work, understands that football is a
challenging game. But it’s that very effort, that commitment that makes football a great game. You may never touch the ball, but how you
execute your assignments can definitely determine the outcome. Because you are part of a team and ten other guys rely on you every time you
step on the field. That is how football forges character. And in The Greater Game, we spell that out with a very simple acronym: G.R.E.A.T.

4. GIVINGTo put others first

5. RESOLVETo never quit

6. EXCELLENCETo give your best

7. ATTITUDETo be positive

8. TEAMWORKTo be accountable

9. GREAT COACHES DON’T JUST SHAPE GREAT PLAYERS,
THEY FORM GREAT MEN.
Supporting coaches:
Our mission is simple: to champion the greater game and support the coaches who make that possible. Simply put, we need
to start a movement. Starting this Fall, thegreatergame.org will be a forum for the entire football community: players, parents
and coaches. We will inspire players, reaching them where they live on social media. We will assure parents, reinforcing football’s
positive impact and how it can shape their sons into better adults. And mostly, we will support coaches, who are the most
powerful influencers in teaching The Greater Game. We can’t wait to get started.
