SEC Hopeful posted:Coach_May posted:i will get it right? 8 years ago I walked away from coaching HS baseball. I wanted to actually watch my own son play in college. I wanted to see what it was like to just go watch games. I continued to do some scouting and coach showcase.
Well I am officially the HC at the school I coached at for many years. Since leaving I have reflected on the things I wished I had done. I also have spent just as much if not more time reflecting on the things I wish I hadn't done.
This was a very tough decision. My life has never been in a better place. For every reason I could think this was the right move for me I could think of 10 of why this wasn't a good move for me.
But in the end it simply came down to me having the opportunity to get those things right one last time. An opportunity to give to others.
For those who are people of faith I ask for your prayers. Prayers that I will be what I ought to be. Prayers that I will be the coach God would have me be. Prayers that I will give these young men exactly what he would have me give.
I'm not worried about winning on the field. We will win. I need your prayers that I will give them what it takes to win off the field and be the example I need to be.
I understand the awesome responsibility and the weight it carries. Pray that I give them even more than I require.
Am I missing something? Are you being sent on a mission to an Afghani village without a weapon and being asked to take out all of Isis or something? You are coaching a high school baseball team, man! Seriously????
Why would you jump down this mans throat just for being humble asking for a little bit of God's grace and help in a decision he clearly has given a lot of thought to? Coach clearly just wants the best for the kids he is going to coach. I understand freely questioning people opinions on things, that one I don't get.
Relax and take it easy
