by Shelby M. Forrest In a topsy turvy loose moral world, Where values are weak, it would seem A coach can greatly influence young lives By examples he sets for his team. A good coach will teach the kids values of life Those values he knows in his heart - That honor and honesty, fairness and truth Are traits to them he should impart. Sportsmanship, teamwork and the care that is shown To others in life are the same As the traits that a caring coach wants to induce His players to use in the game. He will always teach them to try to excel In the sport when they're contending, And the manner in which they compete in the game Is more important than winning. It is our good fortune to have such a coach With our less than ten year olds Teaching character as well as the rudiments Of soccer in achieving their goals. |
