Was posted on another thread, but it's sort of buried now. Just a fantastic, perfect speech for 12-13 year olds.

To the people of Rhode Island, Dave Belisle is a real man. Helping his wife battle cancer and giving these kids this kind of support is enough to melt even a cynic's heart.

Thank you for him!

Great coach for kids.
I was at Williamsport 2 days for Little League games this week. I must say that I saw many good examples being set by coaches and by the kids. EXCEPT for the South Korean and Puerto Rican teams/ coaches, who were close to turning their game into a brawl.

I've been watching & the coach is very good.

I'd have to say all the coaches I've seen are in the same mold.

...tons of encouragement, compliments & inspiration.

And calmness. ...a key point in these very stress-filled games.

Is is Puerto Rico that has the 6’4” 235 pound 13-year old?

Excellent. Most successful people lose their way to success.

I watched that live and thought the coach was very impressive. The kids on that team were "awesome" as he said.

When I was in grade school, one of my classmates was on a team that won the Little League World Series. He later went on to have a successful career in the NFL.
