Coach's Corner

“It never ceases to surprise me at the infinite capacity of the human mind to resist the introduction of useful knowledge.”

The word "coach" was first used back in the 1500's in England. A coach was a horse-drawn carriage used to transport a person of importance from where he or she is to where he or she wants to be, could be, needs to be, or ought to be going.

This is a responsibility that coaches have to make, which is good use of the power they have as a coach to reach and teach young people about issues and ideas that will carry them not only through a season but through a lifetime.

We owe them our very best and when they leave us, we must ask ourselves, are they better or worse. They are now living records of our own failures and successes.

I am so grateful to have had the privilege of being a coach for 33 years and being associated with so many fine young men and women .
