This past weekend we won the championship for the Central Mountain Middle School Basketball League! What a day for The Summit Tigers!! For any coach this is the feeling of a lifetime, the feeling that you have done your job to coach the "x's and o's" but to also make the season more than just about sport but also about life.
Dad, you got me started as a coach, you encouraged me to reach new heights in my own life through a different approach to sport, as a coach rather than an athlete. (Looking back never really was much of one) You were absolutely right when you asked me to help with Safe at Home. Dad you saw a possibility for me as a coach and now I am able to say that I am Championship Coach.
Dad, you have taught me how to be a human being and now I am hope that I can have half the effect on the boys I coach as you have had on me. You have always been a guide for me, a "north-star" if you will, and my hope is to help spread what you have shown me amongst the young men of Summit County.
Dad, this year I have won a championship in baseball, one of the top ranked teams in Colorado, as well as basketball and now can call myself an Offensive Coordinator. This year U have taken some risks in my coaching career and have been able to see some reward and benefit. You gave me the confidence to do so!
Thanks for everything Dad!!
