However impressive his stats are, numbers are not what put Coach Mike Bowring as the featured article on Itsagoodday.org. Though he is a winner in every way on the field, it is what he does off the field that is more impressive. Being a neighbor and friend of Coach Bowring, it is evident that he loves his players. He spends endless hours talking to and conversing with these young men. Often a vehicle of one of his players can be seen in his driveway. Usually they are there because Mike is helping and assisting these young men deal with the many struggles that are presented to today's youth.

I have observed in my dealing with these young men, that they all say, "Coach Bowring cares for me more than the outcome of the game." "Winning football games is a by-product of developing young men." says Coach Bowring.

It is not merely good enough to teach them the importance of winning, but how they can win in life. That is the true lesson learned here from the example of Coach Mike Bowring.
