I hope your coach is not going on the field... That'd be dangerous! lol

As for me I was lucky enough to be coached by an amazing man (Ken Patton) and I think I changed who I am. There is no way to explain how his important that relationship was to me and I would not trade it for anything. I have nothing against student drivers but the its not what I would choose for my team. I am now a coach for the rookie team we started and I can only hope that one day I can be half the coach he is and have a lasting impact on my students.
