Favorite part of the job:

"The best part of coaching is the influence, the impact and the relationships you build as a coach.  A good coach works hard, is dedicated and patient when working with kids.  Coaching is a rewarding experience when you see kids having fun, improving their skills and working hard to improve themselves.  In other words, the best part of coaching is when you see that kid you coach and see him confident in himself and is eager to work hard for you and show you what he/she has learned. You made a positive impact on that kid! Finally, a rewarding part of coaching is when that kid comes back to shake your hand to tell you,  "thank you for making an impact on my life." ~Coach Anthony
