the head football coach in 1985 and remained in that position through the 1995 season. In Lake City he had twelve First Team All-State players, four players who played in MHSFCA All-Star Games and won conference championships in 1986 and 1988. Dick was a member of the Detroit Free Press All State Football Board in 1986. He ran a winter and summer weightlifting program for twenty-two years and started the Lake City Junior High Football program in 1986 and the Pop Warner program in 1995. Coach McGiness has worked football camps throughout the state. While at Lake City he also was the boys’ basketball head coach for one season - and won a conference title. Dick coached girls track for almost thirty years, winning conference championships six times. He has radio and television experience with both girls and boys basketball on the radio and a weekly sports talk show for the FOX TV station in Cadillac. In December of 1999, McGiness had a cardiac arrest while exercising on his treadmill. Fortunately, his wife Linda was at home and administered CPR until the medics arrived; no doubt she saved his life. He was in a coma for three days and then began the long process of recovery. In 2001 he received a perseverance award from the Will Return Council in Iowa; he was eventually cleared to return to work and retired in 2004. In addition to coaching, Dick was a class advisor, SADD chapter advisor, Junior High Student Council Advisor, taught alcohol

and drug classes to suspended athletes and ran Lift-a-thons to raise money for the new weight room. He also started the Lake City Athletic Boosters Club and served as its vice-president and president. For twenty years he served as Secretary/Treasurer for the Highland Conference. Coach McGiness has been a member of the Michigan High School Football Coaches Association since 1974 and a long time member of the MHSFCA Board. He has been a Region Director for years and chaired the Assistant Coach of the Year committee from 1990-2013. He has worked on the Regional Coach of the Year award committee for several years, has worked at many All-Star camps throughout and coached in the All-Star game in 1991 where he was severely injured in a sideline collision between players. He was also in charge of the clinic banquet for two years at Battle Creek. Coach McGiness has been a foot soldier for his school and for the MHSFCA. Like Coach Crowley, he is loved by his former players and their parents. He has taught values, standards and life lessons to his athletes. Like Coach Crowley, he is a family man and his wife of forty-three years, Linda, and his children Brooki, Brandie, Becky and Brett can be very proud of him. Our congratulations to Coach Dick McGiness of Lake City High School.

he 43rd Annual Michigan High School Football Coaches Association Winners Circle Clinic was held on January 15, 16 and 17th at the Lansing Center in Lansing, Michigan. The

Lansing Radisson Hotel was also a focus point hosting our Annual Awards Banquet and Presidents Reception. Each was a wonderful event and the venue provided a great social and recognition of our states top award winners. The Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Bureau provided excellent service in coordinating and advertising for our event. The Lansing area has provided our organization a central location, and wonderful facilities to meet our large need. This year we had well over 1400 + in attendance throughout the weekend. Always a popular feature of our clinic, were the dozens of top notch exhibitors showcasing their newest equipment and material for football programs. Our venue also included college tables for coaches to share information about their prospects playing at the next level. The whole clinic environment is dedicated to providing our state’s members ease of access to speakers, vendors, college recruiters and most of all fellowship. This year our speaker lineup included SEVENTY-FIVE speakers. It was one of our largest agendas ever. Each session had nearly nine choices to attend, covering nearly every topic imaginable about our great sport of football. Each session allowed our speakers the flexibility to present and have time at the end for questions. Many times our speakers and their attendees flowed out into the hall continuing discussions and meaningful talks about our game. More importantly connections and friendships were made for future networking. Thursday evening was loaded with fantastic speak-ers that included the kickoff with Coach Brian Kelly of Notre Dame. Coach Kelly shared fundamentals of building program of which all were impressed with his

organization and leadership skills. Thursday night also included speakers from the MAC like Karl Maslowski of Northern Michigan University, Archie Collins, Butch Barry and Head Coach Dan Enos from Central Michigan University. Brian Callahan and Vince Reynolds of Western Michigan University spoke and Michigan State was rep-resented by Mark Staten. Lou Esposito from Davenport University had an opportunity to share about his new and upcoming program next year as did Tim Driscoll of Finlandia College on Friday. We wish them the best of luck building their new programs. Tim Morrison and Jim Louis of GVSU, Dan Cornely from Defiance College, Matt Koziak of Mona Shores (State Runners-Up), and Josh Heppner of Troy Athens rounded out the evening. The Friday Morning Kickoff is always one of our cherished events. The day started out with Head Coach Mark Dantonio of Michigan State University arriving to our clinic with one of the greatest victories in Spartan History. Coach PJ Fleck followed and was an instant hit with the Western “Row the Boat.” New University of Michigan Head Coach Jim Harbaugh concluded the kickoff package with stories about his childhood that had the 1200 + attendees glued to their seats (and standing) for the packed presentation. Friday early afternoon continued with even more strong presenters like Scott Wooster of Wayne State Uni-versity, Kalen Deboer of Eastern Michigan University, Dustin Beurer of Albion College, Matt Boles of Muskegon Big Reds, and Eastern Michigan’s Head Coach Chris Creighton. Legend Coach Jack Schugars of Ferris State University shared special teams play; Harlon Barnett (Asst. Head Coach) of Michigan State University discussed defensive packages, and new Offensive Coordinator Tim Drevno of University of Michigan rounded out the ses-sion.

n February 16, over 300 players and coaches attended the MHSFCA Leadership Conference held at the Radisson Lansing. P.J. Fleck, head football coach at Western Michigan University,

started off the conference with a tremendous talk on lead-ership. Coach Fleck challenged everyone in attendance 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 different schools, responded to prompts on topics covered in the video. An addition to this year’s conference was a presenta-tion on initial eligibility given by Sherraine Pencil from the Compliance Office at Michigan State University. As you know, eligibility, a constantly moving target, is increas-ingly complicated. (Be sure to watch the Free Recruiting Webinar at MHSFCA.com. The webinar is updated with each change in the rules.)

y son’s high school football team finished 1-9 this year, and I wouldn’t be prouder of this team if they had gone undefeated.

They made a game of it each Friday night, and while they often were outnumbered and overmatched, they never were outplayed. My son and his teammates have learned more about hard work, sportsmanship and resilience on the football field than anywhere else, and these lessons will make them better men. But as much as I enjoy the tradition of high school football, I worry about its future. My son’s school has nearly 2,000 students, but his team is lucky to suit up 20 players for a varsity game. There are a lot more young men who want to play, but whose parents won’t let them. Their parents think the risk of brain injury outweighs the benefits of playing. I understand the concerns and share them, but I have con-cluded those concerns are misplaced. My children are the most important part of my life. I am a widower, and when my son wanted to play football his freshman year, every mom and my in-laws chastised me for considering it. Even President Obama wondered whether he’d let his theoretical son play. I’m a physician and medical researcher at Stanford, and I only decided to let my son play after reviewing the medical research. The study that best elucidates the risk of football-related brain injury comes from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CDCP officials studied 3,439 former National Football League players with at least five years of pension-credited playing seasons between 1959 and 1988. This is arguably the highest-risk group of players available for study. Among these players, the incidence of neurodegenera-tive disease is three times higher than in the general population. However, the risk of death from neurodegenerative disease was relatively low in both groups: 3 percent in NFL players, and 1 percent in the general population. The risk associated with a long NFL career is not insignificant but remains small. The high-profile research that is regularly cited as connecting the dots between football-related concussions and dementia in NFL players lacks sufficient data to establish a causal link. Most of the cases considered focus on former NFL players involved in a lot of high-risk behavior other than football, and none of these studies included a control group. Research like this is typically filed away as “interesting, but we need better data.” The key here is that high school football is not the NFL. The Mayo Clinic found that the risk of high school football players developing degenerative neurological diseases later in life is no greater than if they had been in the band, glee club or choir.

The data suggests that the normal life of adolescents puts them at risk for brain injury all the time. What would be the alternatives to my son playing football? Sports such as soccer, skiing, rock climbing or lacrosse have similar risk profiles to high school football. My late wife rode horses competitively growing up. As an anesthesiologist at a hospital that treats more horse-related trauma accidents than any other in the country, I’m glad my son went with football. I believe the benefits of playing high school football are worth the risks. Football is an equal-opportunity sport. All different types of athletes make up a football team, the skills needed don’t require years of practice, and there is no real advantage for kids with private coaches. A healthy, average athlete who shows up to all the team’s practice sessions and attends off-season weight training can usually find a spot on the team. My son’s teammates are from the whole socioeconomic and racial spectrum. The only reason that his team was able to make a contest out of each game, despite that they had so few players to work with, is that the boys learned how to build on what they had in common instead of focusing on their differ-ences. As Jack Kemp, the former pro quarterback and congress-man, once said, “The huddle is color-blind.” In an increasingly diverse world, opportunities to learn how to work together with a wide range of people who start out on equal footing should not be lightly dismissed. When I sit in the stands, I worry when my 160-pound son lines up on the front line of the kick return team, but that is only slightly less than I worry when I sit in the passenger seat as he merges onto the highway. Adolescence is a scary time for parents. To all you parents who are keeping your sons from playing football, I say, “Let them play.” They are just as safe on the foot-ball field as they are in most of the other sports and activities we regard as a necessary part of a healthy adolescence. You can save money on expensive club sports and specialty coaches, and your sons will develop skills that will serve them and the rest of us well.
