The Stanford FG kicker and his team

Great story. I think that article speaks to the caliber of kids Stanford recruits. Life changing for the kicker, indeed, but for the better because of how his teammates handled it.

Thanks for posting, enjoyed the article. Nice contrast to "Here's something wrong with America."

Good stuff. There are lots of these examples occurring everyday, at every level, in the USA. Why we choose to spend so much time talking about the other stuff is subject of consideration?

I agree as well, I am just kind of tired about hearing what is wrong with the youth of today.

My opinion has always been it's a team sport, the blame should never lie on one single player, this is a good story, thanks for posting.

Very heartwarming indeed and another triumph of the human spirit! Thanks for sharing!

Great story. I noticed they ran to him after the first miss and tried to support him. I didn't notice on the 2nd one...
A long time ago I had a CF miss a ground ball that let in the winning run and nobody came over to console the player (state tourney, elimination game). It was several minutes before I did and I wish i would have handled it differently... since then I've told my teams that we have to be there for each other whether its a dogpile or walk off loss.... I learned the lesson the hard way though by seeing that kid suffer...
I wasn't as mature (at 29) as those Stanford kids.

Very nice story. Thanks for sharing. I certainly have felt similar emotions as a pitcher's always helpless parent and seen the player's heart ache firsthand.

Sort of similar story. Pitcher starts a district playoff game and is pounded. When he's removed the coach gives him an earfull. As he sits by himself dejected only one player comes by to offer support. The team gets out of the district and goes on to win the state championship. Pitcher gets the save in the championship game.
