A Tribute - Coach Botsch

It is upon reflection of the talked about Bernie Tournament that my posting for today is focused. A tribute, of such, to a Coach who gives his all to the District. A man who dedicates his life not only to education, but to the betterment of our athletic programs. Oh how your father is proud.

You will find no greater man of character, integrity, encouragement, or leadership to your young people. No greater mentor exists than Coach B. Hold your head high and walk with dignity Coach, for your legacy precedes you. Your walk with greatness was handed down. Your inheritance of character was predestined by another and he looks down on you from Heaven with tears of joy in his eyes and a smile on his face. For you see Coach, he knew you would become the son he had always dreamed of, and even though he is not here today, his memory lives on in the hearts of our community. His love you can feel in the embrace you get from your supporters. His touch on your shoulders as he wraps his arm around you and gives you his words of wisdom whispered in your ears, if even from a friend who knew him. You see Coach, your father is still with you and you should feel this in the support our community expresses for you. Stand tall and walk with courage. Laugh in the face of adversity, for your supporters stand with you.

Neal Botsch had a vision, and it was realized in a son for which he is proud. Your community shares that vision. Have you hugged your Coach today? Contact Coach B and pass on what Neal Botsch would tell him...well done son.

Welcome to the next Evolution!
