After the usual autographs and pictures we went up to the players lounge and had lunch with our coach and met up again with our dad, who we hadn't seen for a week.

If the pace...
...cares about you. And what he says, you do.? Now, I don?t know if kids have the support that we had. If you got out of line in your community or village, there were people there to keep you in place, or to tell your mom and dad that you were messing up. That?s not happening now.
