Miami Teacher’s Unconventional Football Method Sparks Character Revolution, Lands Prestigious Hall of Fame Honor
Advertisement
When asked what she hopes students take away from her teaching, Crippen doesn’t talk about test scores. Instead, she tells them that “anything can happen, no matter the odds, no matter what people tell you is going to happen.” Even if there’s only a 0.2% chance of getting an A, winning a race or nailing a gymnastics meet, she says, you still “give it everything you’ve got because anything can happen.”
She urges them to pursue what they want, to “go out there and get it,” and to remember that if “people don’t have a seat for you at the table, then you take your own chair and you make yourself a seat at the table.” Reflecting on the honor, she calls it “surreal” to see her two passions — the NFL and education — recognized by the Hall of Fame. She says she wakes up every day “excited to come to school,” and that there’s “never a day I don’t want to be here,” framing the award as a byproduct of simply doing what she loves with and for her students.
