Week 10 – Resilience

We enter league play with our toughest test yet. A program we’ve never beaten. A team that expects to win. A name that carries weight in our league.

But none of that matters more than our response. This week is about Resilience.

Resilience isn’t just about surviving hardship—it’s about growing stronger because of it. It’s what shows up when we get knocked down and decide to get back up better. It’s how we push through pain, how we respond to mistakes, how we carry ourselves when the pressure rises. It’s how we lead others even when our own confidence is being tested.

This week, we don’t need to be perfect—we need to be unshakable. We need to play with conviction. We need to trust our preparation and lean into our culture. And when adversity comes, we welcome it. Because adversity is the fire that hardens teams. And we plan to walk through it together.

This is the type of game that reveals who you really are. It tests our mental toughness, our emotional control, and our trust in one another. And if we respond the right way, it becomes a turning point.

This game isn’t about their name. It’s about our identity. It’s about how we respond, how we rally, and how we fight.

We don’t fear the fire—we grow in it.

Here’s a snapshot of what’s happening in football this week:
