Dear Newt,

You resigning has made me think about you and being my coach, my friend and most important my hero. I can’t believe just a week ago you were my coach and now your not. You’ve been the core reasoning for me being a soccer player ever since rec days when I was young. What was so great about you was that you always made me laugh poking and making jokes at everybody and even at me too. I remember all the great times I had playing at surf n turf and for nmb united. I couldn’t have asked for a better coach in all my years playing soccer. The best thing you have taught me is shown me now that it doesn’t take skill to win games, it takes heart and now I realize that. Its sad I had to realize that thru you not coaching me anymore for high school. I haven’t been saddened so much by something in soccer than you not being my coach. If I could take one thing back with all my years playing soccer for you in high school is playing to my fullest potential cause I know you know that deep down inside of me that there’s a great soccer player. I wish I could have showed you that with you as my coach. I know I never showed my serious side or acted liked I cared but I cared more to win than anything and it kills me to have ended the season like we did. Every time you said something I would be a hundred percent with, so be it if I was on the bench for a whole game but I still went with your decision. I hope I was a good player on and off the field to you. I hope to see you soon. I still wish you were still my coach but you will always be my hero!

I fully support your decision leaving for your family and personal reasons. I hope you have a great, happy, enjoyable life. You’re the greatest newtie!

With love,
Cody.
