Grant Teaff shouted out these stats, also in Tom Osbornes book:
Grant Teaff Director of the American Football coaches Association “One of the major reasons our society is in the shape it is in today is because of fatherless homes and no positive male role models in a young person’s life.”
United States Department of Justice figures
63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes.
90% of all homeless and runaway youth are from fatherless homes.
86% of children who exhibit behavioral disorders are from fatherless homes.
71% of high school dropouts are from fatherless homes.
70% of youths in state institutions are from fatherless homes.
75% of adolescent patients in substance abuse centers are from fatherless homes.
85% of rapists motivated by displaced anger are from fatherless homes.
“Statistics are also very clear regarding the lack of a father or a positive male role model in the family. These statistics in no way diminish the great moms out there who sacrifice, work extra jobs and still do an extraordinary job raising their children. There are hundreds of examples of outstanding men who have become great leaders because of what they learned from their moms.”
Dont ever let anyone say having a dad in the house isnt important- It is
When you coach in an area that has lots of problems like this- expect to be a social worker as much as a youth football coach
You can make a huge impact in a kids life- often times you are the ONLY male in an authority figure in his life and if he has more than one, you may be the only one he respects.
