Coaching is the most rewarding thing I can do. I am able to mold players into young men, and seeing how our town has a drug problem at the high school, it keeps them from doing that. You have to play mental games to get the kids to do what you want them to, and to get them to do what they want to do. Motivating people is hard work sometimes, especially with a stuborn kid who's parents are telling him he is the best, and he doesn't feel like he should play defense. It is a HUGE amount of time, travel, and sweat involved, but it is a lot of fun.
