 I'm CW3 Mike Smith with Bravo Company 628th ASB. Well here for the ASB and the 28th E-Cab, I am a battalion safety officer, but when I'm not doing this back home, some of the things I like to do is I am a youth football coach for the Palmyra Midget Football and Cheerleading Association in Palmyra, Pennsylvania. I've been doing that since the end of my last deployment in 2013. Football is a pretty big passion of mine and I enjoy the parallels between sports and the military. Sure, so some of the pros and cons of coaching youth is most of them haven't had that growth that is associated with age and the teenage year, so you really have to work on fundamentals, things that traverse not just on the football field, but can carry them through life, like character building, how to overcome adversity and just basic time management skills. Hi, my name is CW3 Mike Smith with 628th ASB and this is your 32nd Thursday. Who is your favorite NFL football team? I don't need 30 seconds for that, that's the Pittsburgh Steelers. Okay, your favorite, Pittsburgh Steelers and why? Aaron Smith, number 91, he was a defensive end. I enjoyed his style of play, I liked his grit to Nassity and I also liked that his last name and my last name was the same. If you were not working in the 628th ASB, would you be a football coach for the professionals or collegiate level? Well, I don't know if I'm ready for all that, but currently I do it for free, it's just because I enjoy it, but if there was ever one involved. Certainly, were you happy that Tom Brady was able to win his 7th Super Bowl? I was happy that Tom Brady won his 7th Super Bowl. Tom Brady is an amazing preparation and everything he does for the game of football. So if you had to pick a position to play, what would you play along? A defensive end. I have played that, the defensive end is kind of the antithesis of the quarterback. Everyone always thinks safety is back there, safety is kind of managing, but really it's the defensive end. That is the nemesis of the quarterback after it and their sole focus is to help control the edge on defense and when they get a shot on the quarterback, they can count. What would you say has been your greatest experience, the 20th E-CAP? My greatest experience so far has been really, like I said, I'm a youth football coach back home and having the opportunity to see so many young soldiers, well first of all realizing that I'm starting to be one of the old guys and that's a little depressing, but seeing a lot of these simply young soldiers and getting to apply some of the same coaching techniques that I use. So to kind of follow up with that, my last question would be, do you suggest and or recommend that anyone who decides to join the military or any form of organization that's team oriented, do you think sports is one of the answers that can help build character development? So, sports is always going to be my answer for everything. Anything that is team focused? Wrestling is my answer.
