colorado country habitat last mountains potential
When I look at the mountains here in Colorado they're so beautiful. You have potential habitat everywhere, but there aren't any bears. It's not grizzly country any more. The last grizzly in Colorado was killed by a bow-hunter in 1979.

I wrote one of my songs completely out in the field. Another one I started in Alaska and finished in Yellowstone. Even though my books are out, I still consider myself an educator first. I want to give people a better understanding of grizzly bears.

He is a great kid, a caring kid and a kid with a big heart. He cares about his teammates more than a lot of kids, too, and they feed off of that. That is the type of leadership he shows.
atmosphere both changes chase coach goals kids leave lights love meeting money rooms supposed wife worry
My wife said this was supposed to be a steppingstone, and we've been here 22 years. The kids play only because they love it. If they leave early, it is only to chase other goals in academics. You don't have to worry about who is on scholarship and who is not on scholarship. It changes the atmosphere both in the meeting rooms and on the field. You give up the lights and a little money just to coach this.
coach good great honor reflects respect team tremendous work
This is just a tremendous honor for me because it indicates respect from your peers, but it especially reflects well on the team and all the work they put in this year. A coach is only as good as his players, and I had a great group.
