The single most important goal for the H.O.P.E. Foundation, as well as for Coach Frank DiCocco, is to help today's youth in their efforts towards character development. As a coach, Frank's mission was to help raise the quality of this world, by helping to raise the quality of the individuals who live in this world. He worked by using the sphere of athletics to help impart valuable life lessons to the young men who will shape the future of the world in which we all live, and was committed to inspiring, equipping and empowering young people to reach their full potential: on the field, in the classroom, in the community and in the Game of Life.
It was for this purpose that DiCocco created the REAL Man Program. Frank created and designed this character-education curriculum for students of all ages. It was developed for and implemented by the National Football League's Youth Impact Program with the intent of helping to shape middle school, high school, and college-aged students by promoting respect, integrity, courage and honor. The REAL Man Program has 20 lesson plans designed to help today's youth reach their full potential and give them a stronger foundation in dealing with right and wrong. This program has been used by athletic programs, schools, and youth-development organizations nationwide.

INTRODUCTION FROM FRANK DICOCCO: I began writing the “Thought of the Week” letters several years ago, in an effort to pass on worthwhile life lessons to others. From humble beginnings, the “Thought of the Week” grew from a small weekly audience into an international phenomenon, reaching thousands of people across the world each week. Over the years, I have written hundreds of reflections. I have poured my heart, mind, and soul into these writings, all with the hopes that they might influence the lives of all those who read them. Now, I have taken the opportunity to compile many of these reflections into this very book, so that thousands of more lives hopefully may benefit from the teachings. It is with this hope that I present this book to you, the inquisitive and interested reader, with the sincerest of desires that you find insight, meaning, and value in the lessons that follow on the ensuing pages. I began writing the weekly letters to provide helpful and inspiring perspectives on life. My goal was to make a difference in people's lives. Hopefully, I have done so. My hope was to impact the lives of countless people. Hopefully, I have made a difference in the lives of many, through my words and through my work. And hopefully, I will make a difference in your life, as well.
