Reply to "Taking a break from coaching to watch son?"

I built a very successful baseball program and was faced with having to make a choice about my daughter.  She played softball and I knew that she would start as a freshman on the varsity.  She was a Pitcher and SS but also played every other position.  More importantly she could flat out hit.  My assistant coach was one of my former players who had come to my school after being a college hitting coach because I asked him to.  So, I made the decision to turn the program over to him and watch my daughter play in high school  I became the head coach in softball due to other circumstances.  So, when she went to college, I resigned to watch her play in college.  I don't regret a thing as I was able to watch everyone of her games but one which was a makeup game played in the middle of the week on short notice.  I am back to coaching HS Softball now and having a blast.  I do miss baseball but am one year from retirement and so, my baseball days are over.
