Coach Of The Year.,

Life is full of surprises, they are what keep things interesting. Last weekend, I got a little surprise of my own it wasn't a party or a gift it was a feeling. The surprise I received was the feeling I got when I was coaching a indoor baseball team at sluggers. While Coaching these young kids I got to learn more then how fast they could pitch or how well they could hit. I got to see the type of kids they were and their different personalities. Looking in their eye's I saw my own, a kid with a dream. Silas (Bumps), Matt (DOC), Kaden, Caden and I won are game 17-0. Even though this game didn't have any significance I will remember it for the rest of my life. I will remember Bumps leaving the game to get Reeses, Kaden's lead off double, Doc's 3 inning no hitter, and Caden coming in for the close.     After this experience I realized Sank and Cowing have been coaching for so long. Why they put the time and money in to it. I understood why they put up with us. There is no better feeling then passing what you know about a game that you love on to the future of the sport.,

  1. Interesting post and pic. I like that feeling of passing it on and love of the game. On the downside: it's only 227 words and late. You can do better Jake. :)

  2. Good to know you found this feeling. It was a great story. I'm sure you will want to coach a lot more when you have kids or when you get older.
