Coach Havranek, thanks for meeting with me. May I ask you some questions?

Yes. I have about ten minutes now.

In a football game?

COACH:

No, in an accident. I fell out of a tree.

MARTIN:

A tree?!

COACH:

It's funny now. But it wasn't funny then. I was playing with my children. I wanted to get a ball in the tree. I went up the tree, and the limb broke. I broke my leg in three pieces.

MARTIN:

And no more football.

COACH:

That's right. I wanted to play, but my wife didn't want me to play. My leg wasn't good.

Now you're a coach.

COACH:

It's funny. I played football for 10 years. I never had an accident.

Do you like coaching?

Very much. I wanted to play football. But I like coaching very much. I'm very happy.

Coaching is teaching. I wanted to see the young men and women grow. I liked to watch my children grow, and I wanted to watch other children grow.

MARTIN:

Do girls play football?

COACH:

My girls did. They were very good. Some schools have football for boys and girls.

You wanted to coach high school, but you are coaching university men now.

COACH:

That's right. The university wanted me. They asked me.

MARTIN:

What do you want to see this year?

COACH:

I want to see my men grow. We're going to work very hard.

MARTIN:

What do you mean "grow?"

They were good last year. I want them to learn. I want them to become better.

They look good.
