Our son, Teddy was a tall skinny 8th grader when he started to work with Roger. We flew out from Chicago and I was fortunate enough to attend several sessions that Roger ran over the years. I could not help but feel that it wasn’t just the art of quarterbacking that Roger was teaching, but each session was a lesson in life, personal responsibility, and discipline. He loved his boys, and believed in them. His expectations were only exceeded by the confidence he had in them and their ability to take what they had learned from him to the field. Roger was a coaches coach, and a great lifelong friend to myself, my wife and and our son. This is a loss for so many, but how fortunate I feel that Roger Theder was a part of our life.
