Chapter Three: Inside Kane’s Program

There was no gradual introduction to Jim “Killer” Kane’s football program. You entered it, and the program began measuring you.

In Chapter Three of Killer Kane, Sam Fischer steps inside a system built on discipline, repetition, physical force and unquestioned authority. Kane teaches every assignment, demonstrates every block and demands that his players execute the same plays again and again until they are correct. The opponent may know what is coming. Kane’s philosophy is that they should still be powerless to stop it.

For the starters, trust is demonstrated through playing time. For the reserves, Kane’s judgment is harder to read. A position in a drill, the absence of an insult or a rare word of approval can become evidence that a player still has a chance. In a world where praise is scarce, even the smallest acknowledgment carries enormous value.

Through punishing practices, memorable collisions, wind sprints and years spent waiting for an opportunity, Sam proves that he can survive Kane’s program. But survival is no longer enough.

The question becomes whether Kane will ever decide that he is useful enough to play.

Cowboys not Eggheads

Welcome to Cowboys not Eggheads where I visit with guests about topics like loyalty, honesty, authenticity, courage, integrity and resilience.

I come from a cowboy raised and egghead educated background. I’ve saddled and rode a horse, been on multiple cattle drives, fed cattle in 40 below temperatures, worked cattle in a corral, put up hay in 100 degree temperatures, fixed fence …. you name it …

I attended high school at a prestigious private school. I got a College degree.

I spent 31 years as a national political operative, owned my own business and spent 13 years as a police officer.

My interesting life has lead me to the conclusion that the world is made up of cowboys and eggheads. I believe that we should have a few more cowboys than eggheads. Get ready, because you’re about to be pulled into the story of my life……
