There is the coach

who teaches the boy how to be

a true athlete.

On and off the field.

How to be humble when he's winning

and gracious when he's loosing.

A coach who believes in a boy.

Who encourage and builds up;

who treats the player and umpires

with respect.

Who teaches the boy to play with integrity.

A coach who helps the boy go beyond what

he thinks he can do . . .and provides

a safe place to try something new.

A coach who believes;

not only in his team

but also in the Lord.
