“A good coach will make his players see what they can be rather than what they are.”
-Ara Parasheghian
This quote brings to mind my varsity soccer coach, Coach Martin, during our pre/post game talks. He usually goes on a rant about teamwork and hard work, but one day he sat down with us and talked about our futures, and how his goal above all else was to make not only soccer players, but respectable abiding men. He wanted to coach the true meaning of life, not just soccer. Honor, integrity, respectfulness, and gratitude.
