Thank you,
To the coaches that have responded to my announcement thank you for taking the time to say these kind words. Continue to coach and inspire your players, they all want and need your guidance. Be tough on them, you may be the only one that is, and even though most will not understand it at the time, it will help them later on in life just to survive.
To the players, WOW what a response. It is nice to know as coaches that we really may make a small impact on someones life. We do not coach for the money, nor for the Win Loss Record, we coach because we love the challenge of trying to bring out and show a player just how great they can be. To let our players see the real potential they have inside. To try to teach that soccer and life are about working hard for the good of all. To put the needs of others above your own, and the importance of setting and reaching your goals. Good Luck to everyone in the future again I say Thank you to all, continue to inspire each other the way you have inspired me.
To anyone else that reads this go tell your coach how you feel about him or her, they can never hear it enough, if they have ever heard it at all.
Now I'm getting my grandson and goin fish'n,
Keep on Kickin,
