A guy in the back row whispered, “Number seventeen,” and Elissa repeated it. Being hard of hearing, John likely hadn’t heard the whisper and believed that Elissa made the good choice all on her own. He nodded in approval. He let the tape roll and we saw that the quarterback did indeed complete a long touchdown pass to number seventeen.

“Look at the way the quarterback calculates and throws the ball. How can he do that? What do you attribute that to?”

Elissa first guessed, “Lots of practice?” When John said no, she suggested, “Hand-eye coordination?”

“You’re wrong,” John replied. “Great coaching. After all, I’m the one who put those guys in the game and told them to run that play.” And the class cracked up.

After a few minutes reviewing more plays, John dismissed Elissa and called up Kindra. Elissa scurried back to her chair, nearly knocking over Kindra on her way.

Following footage of another long pass for a touchdown, John called out, “Who are the unsung guys? The offensive linemen.”

John pointed at one woman in the class and asked, “Do you want a good guy?” Yeah. And to another, “How about you?” Yeah.
