Nick Foles NFL QB prospect talks to WRMS boys 4/5/12

Nick Foles attended Hill Country MS, was the last player picked for the West Lake HS Varsity football team his Jr. year. He played in the state championship game his senior year in 2006 and has played QB for the University of Arizona the past two years.  He is ranked as high as the 4th top college Quarterback prospect in this year's NFL draft at the end of this month. However, as great a football player as he is, he is an even better person.  He talked about the importance of finding passion in whatever you do whether it be sports, music, or whatever. He talked about the importance of growing up a young man of character and said that true character is not necessarily how one acts when a lot of people are around but how one behaves when nobody is watching.  SO VERY TRUE!  He talked about how to treat girls and that it's cool to be a gentleman.  He talked about always treating others with dignity and with respect and to be a person that includes people not excludes people.  The boys were all tuned in to him and sitting on every word.  They asked great questions and were a very good audience.  I was very proud of all our boys and I know that many of them will never forget this important life message and also their special hour with Nick Foles.
