I coach basketball for the future for the kids. I coach for the kids. I coach so I can have things to do. I coach because I it allows the kids to express themselves freely. I coach because I know that one day ill have the pleasure of coaching my son. I coach because I enjoy being a father figure to those who are without. I coach because I love doing it. I coach to inspire kids and to encourage their dreams. I coach to help point them in the right direction of their goals. I coach to be around people. I coach because I love sports like basketball, football, and baseball. I coach because I love being there for the kids the way I wish my dad was there for me. I coach to scout new talent. I coach to see the drills I put in place are effective. I coach to win. I coach to lose. I coach to make kids laugh. I coach not to make them cry but to make them stronger. I coach because my ambitions allow me to want to help others grow. I coach because I can help them understand the game and all its aspects. I coach because thinking of what they would be without me is painful. I coach because it is relaxing to my spirit. I coach because I love the sound of the whistle. I coach because I love giving back to my community and contributing to the sports I love. I coach   to see if I can still play the games I loved as a child. When I stopped playing the game things changed for me, and not for the better. Basketball will always be one of my favorite sports. Growing up around sports gave me so many great memories of my childhood. I love to COACH because that who I am destined to be.
