Dolores “Do” DeThomasis was the best Mom that a Son could ever ask for. She was a true believer in our dreams and passions and she lived to see both of her sons follow their dreams and passions in their careers. #RIP Mom - Dad, Nick, and I all love you so very much.
One of my favorite plays throughout my career happened in 2014… and I wasn’t even the quarterback on the field.
I was the backup at the time, and a lot of my evenings were spent sitting in Coach Leach’s side office watching film and preparing for the upcoming opponent.
That week we were playing Cal, and while watching tape I noticed a look in their coverage that I thought we could attack with a certain concept. I mentioned it to Coach Mele and he then passed it along to Coach Leach.
To my surprise… the play made it into our condensed game plan for the week.
During the game, I noticed Cal giving us the exact coverage we had talked about. I got on the headset and told the coaches upstairs we needed to get to that play.
The next drive, Connor Halliday hit River Cracraft for an 86-yard touchdown.
My play suggestion.
Sure, I didn’t throw the touchdown or get the spotlight.
But I got something better… trust from my coaches.
It was one of my first “play calls” or audibles… one of the first moments that eventually turned into hundreds throughout my career.
And looking back now, I’m reminded that being a good steward of my current role at the time led to more trust, more responsibility, and more opportunities throughout my career.
So if you aren’t currently in the position you desire… that doesn’t mean you can’t still add value.
You can still contribute, prepare, and start earning the trust of those around you while positioning yourself for bigger moments ahead.
