A lot of coaches don't really sleep. When they finally stop watching film, stop analyzing the last practice, stop preparing for the next practice, and stop looking at their budgets, and grades, and fundraising, they close their eyes and that is when the thoughts just don't stop.

We close our eyes at night, but it's hard to get to sleep and to stay asleep. We never stop thinking about the game and our kids.
And the crazy part is, we never stop thinking about them and caring about them and worrying about them when they are gone.
If you have a coach that cares for your athlete and invests in them, thank them and appreciate them. If they can help your child grow as a person and an athlete, hold on to them. The special ones just aren't everywhere.
So very true at every level !
ReplyDeleteSo True... Sometimes players, disciples or followers don’t see that in their coaches or leaders. Everyone need to learn more on this matter. 👍
ReplyDeleteIf only the parents understood this.

ReplyDeleteMy kids have been extremely fortunate to have an amazing coach Zerrick Vriseno! I swear he is one of a kind! Extremely dedicated, the care and love he has for his athletes is amazing! He works extremely hard to get them to there goal setting, encourages them in every form or way! I will always appreciate what he has done for my kids and what amazing athletes he has turned them into!

ReplyDeleteSo true. Thank you for this. Coaching is the best. Fee lucky to have the opportunity to do so for both of my kids.
ReplyDeleteMy son is the Head Coach at Canton McKinley High School. I know his heart is in it and he gives his all nonstop. To see someone care in the capacity that he does is a blessing to witness. He reminds me, there are people who care about others and not just themselves. I pray people realize coaching is more a service than it is a job. Thank you coaches for being there for so many children. Blessings to you always!
