The fruits of Coaching.

I saw three of my players at a San Francisco PD graduation party. Jason was a little wimpy 11yr old kid when I first started coaching him. Well he is now badge #1102.

He was Army and had a tour in Iraq. Here's a picture from Iraq.

Another player I coached, Chris attended and I found out he too is graduating from the SFPD academy in December.

The third young man was Ritchie. He was there with his beautiful Fiancé. He's doing really well with his family's tire chain.

Today I got to see that they all turned out to be good men. They all thanked me for kicking them in the ass and making them get tough and grow up.

Grow up they have.......It was nice to see.

We often don't realize some of the things we leave behind in life. We understand the impact we have on immediate family, but the ripple effect goes on & on with people we come across. Good job.
