The Power of Community: A Glimpse into Highland Park Football with the 2023 Captains
08/24/23 • 26 min
In our latest episode, we sit down with the five captains of the Highland Park football team: Wilson Axley, Wes Giese, Warren Peck, Case Pickleman, and Henry Richter. With the Friday Night Lights of their senior season fast approaching, they give us an inside look at what it takes to lead a team renowned not just for their plays, but also for their character.
We delve deep into the essence of leadership in this heartening conversation. From leading by example and creating a culture of unity, to handling the physical pressures of their final season, these captains have insight and wisdom that go far beyond the X's and O's. Learn how a summer spent sweating under the Texas sun can forge not just athletes, but leaders.
But it’s not all about the glory. The captains also share candid stories of their individual journeys of resilience. Overcoming injuries, facing defeat, and then bouncing back stronger—these stories provide a look into a culture where resilience isn't just encouraged; it's ingrained. And as they prepare for the big face-off against Marcus, the captains discuss how crucial community support is to their spirit and success. Whether you’re at the games, at the Caniac Supper, or listening from afar, they urge you to be a part of their journey.
As the excitement mounts for the opening game, we’re reminded through this conversation that while football is undoubtedly thrilling, its true beauty lies in the lessons it imparts and the community it builds. Tune in to hear from these remarkable young men who are not just athletes, but also leaders, mentors, and inspirations. GO SCOTS!!!
