Why Do I Coach:

I enjoy watching young people compete.

I had a player give me a plaque after he graduated, it said

"Coach, you see us as we are and make us see what we could be." I think that sums it up Why I Coach.

 

Coaching Moments:

Too many to count, every year there is something new.

But here's a few:

Coaching my own sons.

Coaching kids that I also coached their parents.

Baseball State Tournament 2004

Baseball Players getting drafted

Players receiving Scholarships

Going deep in the playoffs, raising the bar in the programs.

ALL the Relationships: This profession gives you way more than you will ever give.

 

When will I retire, I will leave you with these words,

"We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing."
