Why do coaches coach? Commander of USS Abraham Lincoln gives reason
The speech by Keeler on Wednesday in Coronado at a changing of the command ceremony offered the real reason coaches coach and teachers teach — to make a difference in a student's life.
'I learned more about hard work, grit, determination and how to handle pain, honestly, from this group,' he said.
He recalled when Notre Dame coach Kevin Rooney gave him a recommendation letter for the Naval Academy: 'Coach Rooney, when you handed me the letter, you said, 'I think you're going to be good at this,' and you were right.'
Keeler added, 'There were plenty of championships, but I don't think that's how these people measure success. I was a very mediocre backup quarterback and defensive back. If I was playing in a football game, we were winning by a lot.
'Those metrics of winning and losing weren't the only things that mattered. They were important. These educators took all the time to get the best out of their students and I was one of them. They saw something in me and chose to make a positive impact, and I am forever grateful.'

Watch: Marcus Rashford enters the pitch, makes Barcelona debut against Vissel Kobe
FC Barcelona fans finally got their first look at Marcus Rashford in Blaugrana colours as the English forward made his much-anticipated debut against Vissel Kobe in a pre-season friendly held in Japan. The 27-year-old English forward, on a season-long loan from Manchester United, entered the match to a roaring reception, marking a pivotal moment in his career with the Catalan giants. The atmosphere inside the stadium was electric as Rashford stepped onto the pitch wearing the number 14 jersey. Though the game was just a friendly, all eyes were on Rashford, who looked sharp, energetic, and eager to make a statement. 🚨‼️ Marcus Rashford makes his Barcelona debut! 🔵🔴 — FÚTBOL HUB (@futbolhub7) July 27, 2025 Rashford's loan move to Barcelona, finalized earlier this week, includes an option to buy for €30 million. Having passed his medical and signed his contract, the forward has been training intensely, with reports from the Barca camp praising his peak physical condition. His debut comes after a challenging period at Manchester United and a stint at Aston Villa, where he rediscovered his passion for football. The No. 14 shirt, previously worn by Johan Cruyff and Thierry Henry, symbolizes his ambition to shine in Catalonia As pre-season continues, Rashford is expected to see more minutes and gradually build chemistry with his new teammates.

Why was Marcus Rashford substituted in his Barcelona debut after just 30 minutes?
By Aman Shukla Published on July 27, 2025, 17:26 IST Marcus Rashford's highly anticipated debut for FC Barcelona came to an unexpected early end, leaving fans curious about why the English forward was taken off just 30 minutes after coming on. Rashford entered the pitch as a second-half substitute in Barcelona's pre-season friendly against Japanese side Vissel Kobe on July 27, 2025. However, his time on the field was surprisingly brief. Around the 75th minute mark, Rashford was substituted off and replaced by young midfielder Dro Fernandez. So, why was Rashford substituted so soon after coming on? Planned Substitution, Not Injury As of now, there is no official report of any injury to Rashford. Barcelona's coaching staff, led by Hansi Flick, appears to have made a pre-planned substitution as part of the club's approach to managing minutes during the pre-season. These games are often used to test player fitness, integrate new signings, and provide opportunities to youth players. Rashford recently joined Barcelona on a season-long loan from Manchester United. Since he had limited game time in the final weeks of the previous season and only just began training with his new club, his minutes were likely being carefully managed to avoid any risk of strain or fatigue. What's Next for Rashford? Barcelona fans shouldn't be too worried. Rashford's brief appearance still offered glimpses of his pace and attacking movement. As pre-season continues, he is expected to get more game time and gradually settle into Hansi Flick's system. His next opportunity could come in Barcelona's upcoming friendlies or in the Joan Gamper Trophy clash. For now, it looks like the substitution was strategic rather than medical—a normal part of pre-season rotations. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
