Although coaches rarely let their players know it, they are proud of their players, much like a parent would be. But there are always some players that work so extremely hard to make themselves better that coaches gain a special feeling of joy and satisfaction as they watch them achieve great things.
Read an article this morning from a coach that was bragging like a proud Dad on one of his players. “…One such player for me is Sylvia Fowles. Growing up in the rough part of Miami Sylvia leaned on a strong mother and made herself into a good basketball player. At LSU she worked extremely hard to become a special player. She was the first to the gym and the last one to leave. She was the hardest worker in the weight room. This past summer she was the one of the leading scorers and rebounders for Team USA as they captured the Gold Medal. And in two weeks, on May 15, she will walk across the stage and receive her degree…”
