Character Counts

“If all I have taught you is how to block and tackle, then I have failed you as a coach.

-Coach Thomas

Throughout his life, Coach Thomas inspired many people. He did so much more than just coach football. Coach Thomas was the epitome of what having good character looks like.

Character Counts Week Iowa is coming up in a few weeks. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to show how important one’s character is. It is our responsibility to show good character and take care of each other. Character Counts Week is the perfect time to set an example for others.

As Character Counts Week Iowa approaches, I thought it would be special if you all wrote the blog posts for us. Posts should be on how Coach Thomas and his good character influenced you and your life. It can be short or it can be long. It can be anonymous if you would like. The whole week during Character Counts, we will post the different stories shared by all of you.

Having and showing good character was something that meant a lot to Coach Thomas, and is something the Ed Thomas Family Foundation supports. I hope you all take the opportunity to share your story. Stories can be sent to [email protected].
