Wish more coaches thought like this. They have no clue what of some of these kids are going through because they don’t take the time to get to know them. The gym gives a lot of them peace. That one gesture makes a world of difference. https://t.co/lqYTa9zQgW

As if life couldn’t continue to be blessings, showering down. I am invited to former athletes of mine letter of intent signing ceremony at Pearland high school. 3 of the nine were either kids I coached or taught in seventh grade and they’ve all invited me. I’m a be crying.
