He spoke about the challenges of changing a culture.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Being a leader is not easy and being a leader is not always accepted. If you want to be accepted, you sell ice cream \u2014 everybody likes the guy that sells ice cream,&#8221; Saunders said. &#8220;I only know how to do it one way and that&#8217;s work hard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Saunders was also bringing change to a team in the wake of something much more challenging than a string of losses on a football field. Eleven months ago, a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/school-shooting-georgia-apalachee-high-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">shooter at Apalachee High School<\/a><\/span> killed two students and two teachers, including Richard Aspinwall, the team&#8217;s defensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got kids that never played before that want to be a part of something now, and that could be a reflection of what happened in the past,&#8221; Saunders said. <\/p>\n<p>His players, including senior linebacker Ryan Hansen, bought into their new coach&#8217;s intensity. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The mentality that we have to have out here and the heart to play it now, you have to really want it,&#8221; Hansen said.<\/p>\n<p>To deal with the trauma, Saunders brought in Christian Guerra, a mental performance coach. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some players, the way for them to cope is, &#8216;Hey, I want to focus on being on the field doing the best I can.&#8217; Some, they want to talk about it a little bit more,&#8221; Guerra said.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why Saturday night was so deeply meaningful for this team and the community. As the final seconds ticked off, the celebrations began.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Your Apalachee Wildcats are victorious,&#8221; the announcer said.<\/p>\n<p>Apalachee beat their opponents 29 to 9.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While football won&#8217;t erase the tragedy, it&#8217;s now a reason to rally \u2014 and to believe that the comeback is always stronger than the setback.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/skyler-henry\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Skyler  Henry<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Skyler Henry is a CBS News correspondent based in Atlanta.
