With the finality of a season and a career not quite sunk in, I don’t want to let any more time pass without saying a few words of gratitude to a very deserving man.
Coach Robertson at Plano has restored discipline, and respect to what will no doubt be a strong program under his guidance for years to come. He led this team by example, the kind of example any parent would be happy to have a son follow into manhood. I now understand why a lot parents at South Garland were sad to see him leave.
I hope I can say this…(one small example of many, many) but removing starting players from the lineup (for what some would consider very small infractions) on 2 of 3 playoff games sends a message to your team…Some things are more important than a baseball game. His character, and how he lives and coaches, reminds the players every day of what he asks of them. Who you are, where you are from, and who you represent.
Thanks coach for a great two years, and good luck with many seasons to come!
