Minium: Ricky Rahne's Heartfelt Message on Football and Family Went Viral on Twitter

Last Monday morning, just hours before Old Dominion University announced it was shutting down all fall sports, first-year football coach Ricky Rahne decided he needed to start what would be a difficult day with a good workout.

Although he understood the reasons why ODU decided to cancel the fall 2020 season for all sports, he was understandably frustrated about losing his first season of football and was also thinking about his role as coach in relation to his family and his players.

As he took a deep dive mentally, he stopped working out and wrote down what he was thinking.
