Seeing is Believing...

"A good coach will make his players see what they can be rather than what they are."
--Ara Parasheghian


My daughter's beaming smile speaks volumes. It's a smile she's been wearing ever since a coach took a chance on her and gave Hannah the opportunity to join swim team.

Months ago Hannah had never set foot on a diving block nor could she dive.  Streamline. Flip turns. Dolphin kicks. Psych sheets. IM's. She's also mastered an entirely new language and setting new challenges for herself.

All because of a coach who saw and believed.

Today I am grateful for:

*Coaches.

For the daily, nightly and weekend sacrifices they make while being away from their own families.
