The only limit is the one we put on ourselves." That is one of the lessons Allen, as coach-teacher– counselor, hopes the student athletes learn - the danger of self defeat. "Sometimes you try as hard as you can and still make an error or you fail. But when it happens, it's over, and tomorrow is another day. You get up and try to put it back together and start over." Football isn't always fun, he says, and neither is life, but there are rewards and sometimes the reward is the lesson itself. "I've made major mistakes as a player and as a coach," he says, "but the object is to learn from them, to make changes, and to test yourself in the arena." !£.!. PSU MAGAZINE PAGE 27
