Every parent should want their son to play offensive line ⬇️

Seven reasons the trenches build exceptional men
✅ Guardian Mindset – protect teammates now, protect family later
✅ Grit – real-time feedback under pressure hard-wires resilience
✅ Silent Selflessness – do the work no one sees, value intrinsic success
✅ Cognitive Processing – rapid reads boost pattern recognition and spatial IQ
✅ Emotional Regulation – full-go at the snap, calm in the huddle, calm in life
✅ Communication – five voices, one heartbeat, trust or bust
✅ Foundation for Life – at thirty he steadies the room and moves others forward

If my son chooses the trenches I know he is choosing grit, humility, and steadfast love for the man beside him.

Share this with a parent, save it for later, and hit the link in my bio for more lineman wisdom inside the Vault.
