@patkelsey this guy is a winner, period. He passion and energy are unmatched. Give him a couple months to revamp the roster through the Portal and the Cards will back “dancing” next year. NCAA Basketballis better when Louisville is good

Every piece of blue has been eliminated from my wardrobe. The Revival has begun. The ReviVILLE has begun. The passion in the minds & hearts of Card Nation is like no other. “The revolution commenced before the war began. It was in the minds and hearts of the people.” -John Adams

Freshman boys move to 3-1 on the season with a win tonight against Marlington 48-36. Jv and Varsity are home tomorrow night against Warren JFK.

@coachajkings he would have hit the portal in todays climate.

In 1975, Joe Montana had just finished his freshman year at Notre Dame. He was last on the depth chart. His coach said, "Joe was even behind 2 walk-ons." Montana knew the only way that he was going to play was by proving it at practice. Joe said, "So much credence was put on how you practice. And how you practice is how you play." Back then, he wasn't a great practice player, but he was going to compete and prove that he was. Joe said, "I learned the protections and where everyone was supposed to be. I spent until Saturdays making sure I had all of the information ready." Slowly things started to change for him. He practiced better. He played better. Joe had played great in spring practices and showed flashes, but he was still the 2nd-string quarterback. And this is when the legend of Joe Montana started. Against North Carolina he got his first opportunity. The team was down 14-6 with 5:29 left in the game and coach Dan Devine was looking for a spark. Montana came in and led them to a 21-14 comeback win. Everyone was buzzing and excited to see him play more, but he didn't start the next game versus Air Force. The game versus Air Force was similar. Notre Dame started slow and was down 30-10 with 1:43 left in the 3rd quarter. Looking for a spark, Dan Devine put Montana back in the game. And then...he did it again. Montana led the team on 3 scoring drives to win the game 31-30 with another comeback win. He made fans believe. He made students believe. He made the team believe. He struggled with injuries the rest of the year and missed the 1976 season with a separated shoulder. He started the 1977 season as the 3rd-string quarterback. In the 3rd game of the year versus Purdue, he won the job and never looked back. In classic Joe Montana fashion, Notre Dame started slow and was behind 24-14 headed into the 4th quarter. They put Joe in the game, and they scored 17 unanswered points as he led them to a 31-24 comeback win. Notre Dame went on to an 11-1 season and a Cotton Bowl win over Texas. And that was just the beginning for Joe. Takeaway 1: Take advantage of your opportunities There are always opportunities around you, you just have to see them and take advantage of them when they are there. Joe's first opportunities came because he worked hard, practiced hard, and was prepared. Then the opportunities in the games came because he was there and ready for them. It highlights the importance of tenacity and determination in pursuing your goals, even when the odds seem stacked against you. Takeaway 2: Grit is the ability to endure Grit isn't talent or luck, it's the ability to have stamina and endure. Joe Montana's journey demonstrates the power of being able to endure. He endured being last on the depth chart and multiple injuries. When faced with adversity, he learned the power of perseverance and the ability to push through mentally and physically. "Don't complain about not getting a chance and then be unprepared when you finally do." - Joe Montana - - - Follow @coachajkings for more content like this!
