SAC, I am really sorry to hear about this new injury and it being career ending. The situation is familiar, though. Our son had career ending shoulder surgery just as he was producing at a level his MILB draft status would not have predicted.

With that said, he loves the game, loves coaching and really believes it is his job to create opportunities for his players which were created for him by his coaches.

Your positive approach to the current opportunity opening as the playing one closes seems pretty powerful and right, to me.

In terms of the future in coaching, it is also like baseball, being drafted, there is some luck involved and many things beyond your control. On the other hand, I truly believe that the harder someone works and the more skilled they get in coaching, the "luckier" they are.
