D James visits No th Mason on r 00([er takes over titude toward winning" back : ,ys' soccer college days, was also quick to By RICK STEDMAN Former Washington Huskies coach Don James was impressed when he stepped into the Com- mons at North Mason High School last week. Many of the coaching philosophies he was about to reiterate were already plastered on the surrounding walls. The 1999 edition of the North Mason football team has several goals to attain this year, with the priority given to the following: "Everyone will be eligible throughout the season." The team's collective goals for Week 1 of two-a-day practices in- cluded: Every player comes to learn (empty your cup); compete against your best self; we play for fun; be willing to sacrifice (listen to coach); and rally around the family, which in this case trans- lates to the team. COACH JAMES reiterated the team aspect on several occa- sions during his luncheon visit last week, drawing from his 38 years of coaching experience to do SO. "Every play, every day," was one ,motto we used," he said. "Players need to apply this during every practice, on every play, of e.very down throughout the year." James said that players need to think in terms of how many times they do a drill during the season. "When you,re on that practice field, you need to give the coaches your total and complete focus." James said that the success of a team depends on the collective efforts of each and every player. He likened football to a boot camp. "You have to pull together as one," he said. "One heart beat is another theme we employed during my coaching years," said the 66-year-old former coach. "The team had the same goals, tile same beliefs, and the same at- JAMES SPOKE OF a crucial time during his coaching years at the University of Washington. During his third year in the PAC- 10 Conference in 1977, the Husk- ies started the season with a 1-3 record. "A lot of people were call- ing for my resignation along with my head on a silver platter after we lost to Alabama by several touchdowns. We had a drug prob- lem that day. Alabama drug our butts up and down the field at will." James went on to explain that the goals the team had set at the beginning of the year were no longer of any use. "During a team meeting, I had everyone pull out their copy of the goals and crum- ple the paper in a wad," he said. "Then I had every player write their personal goals focusing on what they could do to help this team win." James, a graduate of the Uni- versity of Miami of Ohio, said that was a defining moment for the team. The Huskies beat fa- vored Oregon that week, then went on to a victory over favored Michigan in the Rose Bowl on January 1. JAMES LIKES TO use the philosophy of legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombar- di. "Coach Lombardi used to say that to be successful in life you must set priorities - and I'm gon- na tell you what they are: Faith, Family, and Football." James added to that list aca- demics and social, emphasizing that there must be a balance of all for success to occur. Another of coach James' state- ments had many in the audience counting on their fingers. "The ten most important two-letter words are "If it is to be, it is up to me," said James. James, who played quarter- emphasize the importance of faith. "There are 86,400 seconds in a day," he said, "It takes but a few of those seconds to give thanks and shoot a few little ar- rows of faith," James, who coached North Ma- son coach Russ Vincent during the mid-1970s at Washington, added one final note on setting goals and doing your best. "You don't have to be the best at some- thing or be a world record holder. You just have to aim for your per- sonal record, like they do in track and field. It doesn't matter where you're at, you just have to shoot for your personal record (PR)." JAMES MADE reference to Carol, his wife of 47 years, and how faith and understanding was the key factor in their relation- ship. "That same faith and under- standing can be applied to the team as well." After James finished speaking to the 80 plus in the auditorium, North Mason's team captains Alex Owen, Phil Flatau, and Greg Huffman offered a bouquet of flowers to Carol James, along with a hearty handshake to Coach James. The North Mason football squad also honored Russ Vincent and his wife Kathie with a bou- quet of flowers marking their" 20th wedding anniversary. In closing, Don James in- formed the Bulldogs that he would be watching the newspa- pers to see how they perform this season. "In journalism school they always teach you to get the read- er's attention in the first para- graph. I call that the 'Holy Cow!' affect," said James. "That's what they're going to be saying about North Mason this year - Holy Cow - that team can play foot- ball." FORMER UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON football coach Don James paid North Mason a visit last week, offering words of encouragement and strategies for attaining individual and team goals. The Bulldogs also strapped on pads for the first time last week, preparing for this weekend's jamboree at Bainbridge Island. Pictured at right is Phil Flatau working on extra points during 85-degree heat. The Bulldogs open the season on the road Friday, September 10, against White River. TAKING A BREAK from the rigors of two-a-day prac- tices on the football field, coach Russ Vincent (at right) congratulates Don Neyhart on his 17th birthday. Don celebrated his birthday on August 24.
