Coach Dad

I spent the Fathers Day weekend watching one of the best Dads I know in action in one of the many roles he plays - The Coach.



I am officially in awe of my younger brother. He works two jobs but still manages to find a way to support his boys and pass on his love of baseball, along with the life lessons it helps teach them.

Like all great coaches, he knows you need the right energy to be successful.



He understands how much a few words of encouragement matter before you start an important task.



And he knows a great coach is always there to back you up.



And as anyone who has coached someone to success knows, the rewards outweigh the sacrifices involved in being available when you're needed.

Sometimes those rewards come in physical form.



But just as often, the real reward takes a human form.



So to all the wonderful men out there being "Coach Dad," AND so much more to the people in their lives, Happy Fathers Day.
