Every once in a while you run across something which stirs feelings within you that you may have thought were dormant.
You begin to think the world is a cold place.
You begin to think all people care about is getting ahead.
You begin to think all coaches and athletes think about is their next victory and how they can win at all costs.
Then…then you read or hear something and it restores your faith…if only for a moment. If for only a moment you get a glimpse of a coach and a team who “get it.”
Please take a few moments (about all it will take) and read this news article. Then come back here and let me know what you think.
That is indeed warming to read. Thanks for passing it along.
Glad you liked it Daniel. Also glad to pass it along.
Yes, yes.
Let’s focus on what’s truly important and not on life’s trivia.
When all is said and done, one of those big questions will be, ‘did you love well?’
I agree Linda. I believe this coach is teaching the kids an important life lesson.
That does a heart good. To see folks with proper priorities is refreshing.
That is why I had to share it Floyd. It had me smiling inside.
I like this story. They truly get it.
They’ve learn to look past the Xs and Os… and that’s what will shape the rest of their life.
yes they do Arny. It is in your neck of the woods also…Texas. Not that Texas isn’t a huge place. 🙂
That’s great. Need more reports and stories like this in the media. May we all recognize what’s truly important. Thanks Bill.
Sadly, I never heard anything about this in the media. i saw it as a blurb on MSN. but you are right Jason…we do need more.
This is a marvelous story – the kids learned what truly matters in this world and acted upon it with love.
Blessings, Bill!
i think the coach taught them well. If not him, then someone has.
Refreshing, encouraging, thanks Bill.
You’re welcome Betty. And it is all those.
Yeah, reading the news can tempt a person to become cynical and disheartened. It was good to read some *good news* for a change. Thanks for sharing.
GOD BLESS!
i seldom read or listen to the news. I prefer to be selective. 🙂 And “good news” is always good.
