Since finishing up his playing days last season my son Jeff started on his next chapter in his life. He always said that when he stopped playing he wanted to be a college coach. So last summer he was the assistant coach for the Wilmington Sharks in the CPL. He returned to Lander Univ to finish his degree and graduated in Dec. He spent the fall helping the coaching staff and was on board to coach this season as a volunteer assistant. He got a call just yesterday from Coach Anderson at Belmont Abbey offering him a job as a full time paid coach. Catching and hitting coach.
He refused to take the job without the blessing of his current HC Kermit Smith at Lander. Kermit gave his blessing saying "Anytime you can get paid to coach baseball it's an honor. Your going to be a great coach." Jeff is so excited and ready for this. His players are going to get all he has everyday. I am so proud and happy for him. His dream to do for a living what he loves has come true.
I really didn't want to post this after reading the sad news about Bobs wife. But I know this in a small way would put a little smile on his face. Hang in there Bob. God will take care of you.
