Chris Doelle sits down with Coach Ken Purcell and they talk about a very important subject - losing. After all, every single weekend, half of the teams that play football lose their game.

Including:

Coach Ken Purcell continues to share his passion for Texas high school football and the vital role played by coaches in making this such a unique and great sport.
We are at the halfway point on the season already for the teams that won't be making it to the postseason.
How you carry yourself after a loss is much more telling than how you act after win.
You are great coach if you carry yourself the same way whether you win or lose.

"I'd rather watch a winner than hear one any day
Let your loving light show me the way
I'll turn out to be exactly like you are today"

How to deal with an athlete when they make a mistake like the kicker that missed the PAT for the University of Texas. How do you build that kid up?
People who aren't involved in our sport don't understand that coaches are teaching more than passing, catching and tackling... they are teaching life lesson, character, pride and more.
