What happens when the life you planned for your child becomes a life you never could have imagined?Coach Dale Sandlin had a plan for his son, Zachary.Football. Wrestling. College. Opportunity. Success.From the time Zack was a little boy wearing those damn Furman football shorts, Dale saw potential. As a father and a football coach, he believed that if he provided the right opportunities, surrounded his son with the right people, demanded accountability, and never stopped showing up, the future would take care of itself.It didn't.THE PLANS WEREN'T MINE is the deeply personal story of a father learning one of parenthood's hardest lessons: You can prepare your child for life, but you cannot live it for him.Zack's journey takes him from youth football fields to varsity football and wrestling, from AFJROTC accomplishments to dropping out of high school, from becoming a young father and football coach to addiction, devastating choices, and ultimately incarceration.But this is not a story about a promising young athlete who "threw his life away."It is a story about a life that is still being written.While incarcerated, Zack earned the GED he never completed as a teenager and began working in the facility's school, helping other incarcerated men pursue theirs. The student who once walked away from the classroom became the man helping somebody else cross the finish line.Through it all, Dale confronts uncomfortable questions about fatherhood, coaching, expectations, disappointment, addiction, accountability, forgiveness, and unconditional love.Did believing so strongly in his son's potential sometimes become pressure?Did "my retirement plan," a phrase Dale often used jokingly, sound different from the other side?When does helping your child become trying to control his future?And how does a father stand beside his grown son without trying to stand for him?THE PLANS WEREN'T MINE is about more than football or addiction. It is about fathers and sons. Mothers and grandparents. Broken relationships and healed ones. Second chances. The people who remain in your cheering section when the scoreboard gets ugly.Most of all, it is about learning that loving someone does not mean excusing their choices, and holding someone accountable does not require giving up on them.Zachary's story isn't over.Neither is his father's.The plans weren't mine.The life wasn't mine.It was his.It still is.Always Forward. Never Retreat.
