What's this picture have to do with Amish furniture? Nothing, yet this picture speaks volumes of what's truly important in life.
My kids have grown up playing sports. The lessons I learned from athletics shaped me into the person I am today. I've always told my kids that the goal of every Coach, in my simple mind, should be to be respected and impactful. How respected/impactful? Respected and impactful enough that your athletes stay in touch with you, even after 40+ years.
I've been blessed with a couple of amazing Coaches who taught me more about life than wrestling and one made the time to stop by and see us today while passing through. So thankful for Coach, his family and the lessons they taught me during my formative years.
