Coach Fleck Video Series - Episode 6: F.A.M.I.L.Y.

WMU Football is a Family and a family sacrifices for each other.  The acronym of F.A.M.I.L.Y., simply put, stands for Forget About Me I Love You.

What does it mean?  According to head coach P.J. Fleck, it means being able to show your love for a person or purpose is being willing and able to sacrifice for it or them.  Don't say it, show it.

It takes sacrifice to change a culture and it takes sacrifice to be the bes you can be whether it is a father, husband, football player, student, banker or whatever you may strive to be in this world.

In Coach Fleck's words, "Love is sacrifice."

This video is the sixth in a series of seven videos where Coach Fleck explains in details his philosophies for building a program and his vision for WMU Football.
