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'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.
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.
