5. BMFO If you could speak to every boy in the world-lets just pretend you could wipe out anything theyve already seen or heard from their fathers or anybody else-how would you explain your own definition of what it means to be a man? Its about relationships and a cause, Joe said. Simple as that. Whats a man created to do? Hes created to be a son, a father, a husband, a brother, and so on. So Im going to measure my masculinity- and its really about my humanity- based on how successful I am as a husband. If I blow it there, or if I blow it as a dad, nothing else really matters. All the power and prestige and possessions in the world will never make up for failed relationships. -From the book Season of Life which will be read to all players who come through the White Bear Lake football program
