Anyone who has been close to me this past week knows it was a week full of emotional highs and lows. The undulation in emotions can cause a million questions to arise in why we invest in other people's lives. No one is perfect and imperfections will result in disappointments. However, within those imperfections are gems. I am not sure how to describe it, but I was asked this week why in the world I would agree to coach a varsity girls soccer team. Now, for anyone who does it, you know the answers to that question. On the outside... people have to wonder why I agree to invest months into the lives of a handful of
adolescent females in an arena where emotions run high, parents get involved and every decision I make is subject to public scrutiny. I can only equate it to parenting or any other job where the investment and the work is worth it for the betterment of a child.
This past week as I watched a group of young ladies close out a successful and long season, I realized what character and promise they possess. It's a brilliant and unforgettable experience to watch 17 young girls from a variety of backgrounds, an array of personalities and widely varied perspectives on life...pull together to work toward a single goal. The investment was worth it. The investment into the lives of those girls is worth every frustration and every bump along the way.
It's just one reason why I coach, but many reasons why investing in others is worth the time. Family and friends are sure to disappoint as I am sure I will disappoint others at times. However, the reciprocal blessings, I think, outweigh the disappointments. So, whether it be friends, family, athletes or my children, the investments I have made have been worth it.

I hope the girls see this. They are so lucky to have you has their coach. Unfortuneatly they may not realize it until they are parents or are standing in your shoes. Thank you for all you've done and will continue to do.
