When people talk about good college football coaches, they talk about how many wins they have, how well they can run their offense and defense, etc. Of course, it is their job to make a good football team, but I don't think that should be their only thing to worry about. College football players are college students who are playing football for school, not the other way around.
Everyone knows that Penn State coach, Joe Paterno, is the winningest coach in college football I-A history.(it's called something else by the way) People wonder when he will retire. He always says that he doesn't know to the question. I think he likes to coach and he wants to keep coaching. What I like about him the most is that he not only coaches football but he teaches life to the students. He always puts school first before football. That is why he does not leave for away games until the students get out of classroom on Friday unless they have to go early. It's been 'classroom first, then football.' He sees this coaching job as an opportunity to reach out to those students and teach them what kinda person they will be. He helps them grow and become a person who can do the same to the others. He turned down the New England Patriots job for this reason and he donated lots of money to the school. He does not get paid millions of dallors like some other football coaches down south. But he keeps coaching because he likes it.
He's built a great football program. But he also is a great person that loves to reach out to the others. He cares about his students. And he likes to help them out any way he can. When he is gone, we will find out what we miss. I really hope that he will keep coaching as long as he likes to.
We Are.......Penn State!!

TCD #1
TCD is short for Ted's Chocolate Diet. There are so many products on how to lose weight, loose body fat, and get slim. But do you really want to give up your favorite food? Because I would not!!! If you are so superly obese that your life is in danger, you will have to do something and may have to give up something you love. But you do not have to if you just want to lose 10lb or get in a better shape. Here's how my diet works.
1) Eat what you want.
Yes, eat what you want to eat. If you like chocolate like me, why don't you? If you love cookies, you can have them. The key is to keep it balanced. If your calorie intake is 2,000kcal/day, you just need to burn that much calories a day in order to maintain your current body weight. If you want to lose weight, then, you just need to burn more calories than what you eat.
Don't get me wrong, though. You do need to take required nutrients. After that, what you eat is all up to you.
2) Eat when you want.
Right, we are all supposed to eat 3 meals a day. 'Snacks are not good for you' is what your Mom and Dad say, right? But the reality is that many people skip breakfast and snack between meals. I think it is important to have regular meals, one in the morning, one around noon, and one in the evening. But who said that it is wrong to snack? Again, the key is to keep it balanced. You can have 2 meals and 3 snacks, or 3 meals and 4 snacks. What matters is how much calories you take and how much of that you spend. What I would recommend is that you probably should not eat late at night or right before you go to bed.
I eat ice cream in the morning. I am kind of a person who likes to eat deserts before eating meals. And I eat chocolate everyday because I love it. I still wear a pair of jeans that I bought when I was in high school. My body weight has been about the same after I stopped growing. I am healthy. Life is too short not to eat what you like. Just remember....Keep it balanced.
Oh, and one more thing. A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands. Just eat what you want and have some fun!!
