Ever wonder what it was like to be a high school graduate getting ready to head to Alabama to play football for the legendary Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant?

Everything he said in that letter is as relevant today as it was back then.
Attitude, work ethic, etc... is what built championship teams then and now.

If that was my letter, I would have it framed hanging in a place of prominence in my household.
