Provo Canyon School Teenager Learns From Football

Blake McMartin has got a second chance. A promising football player for his team at Provo Canyon School, McMartin had some problems. McMartin had problems relating to attitude, partying, and academics. This worried his parents and teachers alike. One of the best Provo Canyon School players from his team, McMartin came to Provo Canyon School for eight months. This seemed to be his last chance of recovery. The 17 year-old found himself to a new person. The main reason for the change: the boy’s love for football. He is now a good student and a good team player. He is also a good son and a protective brother, for his family. McMartin has two brothers.

McMartin misses his family the most, as Provo Canyon School is a treatment and a residential facility. The boy is very appreciative of the school’s program, its staff and teachers.

The boy has made friends in class and in the football team. The Provo Canyon football coach Harry Welch has stood by the boy in tough times. McMartin has become as inspiration for the school. This proves that teenagers can’t be disregarded as hopeless. They must always have another chance to make up.

McMartin currently wants to focus only on sports and school. He talks on other students at Provo Canyon School. Different types of children come together at the school to find ways to become a responsible citizen when they leave, he says. Football has provided Blake McMartin an outlet for all things troubling him. His teammates are happy that Blake is back.

The person happiest with Blake is his coach –Welch. Welch regards the boy as a good football player. “Any coach wants to have good football players playing for him,” he says. Welch regards Blake as a good intelligent human being and a good student too. Blake works hard and has close friends in the school. Blake wants to do well, as he missed the Southern Section Div II Championship, the year before. Football was the motivation that got Blake back in track. Blake’s parents, who took the chance of sending their child to Provo Canyon, are happy now. They believe that they owe a debt to the Provo Canyon School football program. They particularly thanked the coaching staff that never gave up on the boy.

Harry Welch was a pillar of strength to the parents, calling regularly to enquire of the boy’s progress. This was when Blake was out of Provo Canyon.

Welch is happy to have Blake McMartin back. He hopes that the boy will keep contributing to the team. Welch has tried to help the boy, irrespective of his place in the football side.

Welch goes on to say that McMartin has been an inspiration to him, the way he turns things around for better.

"That's why I stayed in touch with the family, and I can tell you I was ecstatic when he arrived back. I was very, very eager for him to return, and I hope that he can

continue to make a contribution. He's fostering maturity in others, and he's becoming a positive role model. I don't know about being an inspiration to the other kids -- but he's an inspiration to me."
