Coach Fleck challenged everyone in atendance to “be a leader,” something he acknowledged “is not always easy.” He emphasized, “It is not always popular to take a leadership roll but the rewards are great for those who step up to the challenge.” Coach Fleck pointed out that there are any number of ways to become a leader and related experiences in his own life that have led him to become the youngest head football coach in Division One football in the country and lead the Broncos to the greatest turn- around in MAC history. After the opening session, high school coaches adjourned to a room where a discussion, question/answer with Coach Fleck was moderated by Patrick Threet (Fraser HS). During this period, athletes watched the video “When the Game Stands Tall” and in small groups made up of players from diferent schools, responded to prompts on topics covered in the video. An addition to this year’s conference was a presentation on initial eligibility given by Sherraine Pencil from the Compliance Ofce at Michigan State University. As you know, eligibility, a constantly moving target, is increasingly complicated. (Be sure to watch the Free Recruiting Webinar at MHSFCA.com. The webinar is updated with each change in the rules.)
