Blessed to Coach

This is a little late but better late than never right?

I was fortunate enough to be one of the coaches for the REM Women's flag football team. There were several reasons why I decided to coach this year, coaching gave me an opportunity to build relationships with those I wouldn't otherwise get a chance to, it gave me an opportunity to spend more time with Ashley and it also simply just the enjoyment of coaching. I wasn't able to watch football much this year but I probably spared myself some frustration with the way the skins played this year. I got to know to meet many of you for the first time this season and all of you are amazing people with big hearts.

I thoroughly enjoyed coaching this team and the bond this team had was truly special. Each person cared for one another and even the new comers, including myself, felt right at home. I'm thankful that all of you accepted me into the family and trusted me to come in and coach. I am so blessed to have gotten a chance to get to know all of you which is a big reason I decided to coach in the first place. All of you have big hearts and a willingness to come in, work hard and play with the right attitude.While winning the championship was great, I believe what was even better was the team as a whole playing the tournament with the right attitude and sportsmanship. Regardless of the outcome, I could not have been more proud of this team. To the offense, thank you for trusting me, thank you for trusting my plays and for taking the time to learn them. I can not express how thankful I am to coach all of you. I truly hope that all of you are able to come back and play next year!
