November 18, 2018: Steelers vs Jaguars432 viewsToday's game reminded me of Coach Hep’s favorite poem, and I thought it was worth sharing once again — Ben.
Don’t Quit!
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but do not quit.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit,
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
*The words from Coach Hep’s favorite poem, “Don’t Quitâ€, written long ago by John Greenleaf Whittier, were not recited just to motivate his players before a game – they were a way of life for him. Ben still keeps a copy of that poem taped to his locker.

February 5, 2021 - Lil' Fan Friday151 views“I’ll be honest, the look on your face after the playoff game with the Browns broke my heart. It has laid on my heart to share a story with you.
Meet my son Ben….yes named after you. (Quick back story. My brother’s a Bengals fan and he named his youngest Carson, after Carson palmer. I told him one day if I had a little boy I’d name him Ben, after Ben Roethlisberger) So here I have my Ben. Ben was born 17 weeks premature and spent 11 months at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. He has cerebral palsy. He uses a wheelchair to get around – which is black and yellow. He uses braces to help him walk. They have the Steelers helmet on them. He uses a communication device. He tells me “Go Steelers †Ben is 9-years old now. We watch football together and he tells me “Browns stink!â€.
I’ve almost lost this boy too many times to count. This past summer we had a trip planned to Kennywood and to come watch a practice. Of course Covid happened so the trip was put on hold. We will get there soon. My son has never given up. As many times as I was told he was going to die and to turn off his machines, I told them it would be him in control of his own destiny. He never gave up.
You control your own destiny. Make this off-season your bit*h, and come back like never before!
I hope to make it to a practice or game soon. I’ll bring my miracle so I can show him also what it looks like to not give up.†— Rebecca.
