Coach Kevin

Coaching little league t-ball can be trying and challenging for anyone; but for 2 ministers trying to coach a team of 5 and 6 yr. olds while not losing control, it's even that much more of a test.
Today was opening day for my 5 yr. old daughter Jordyn's t-ball team. Myself and Drew, my friend and also a local preacher, are coaching the team. It's great fun meeting new kids and parents and trying to teach the kids a great game that we both enjoy. But there is always 1 kids isn't there, that just tries every last ounce of patience that you have. Today was better than most of the practices have been but there were still times I really had to bite my tongue. All in all the team had a great game, we hit well and fielding was terrific. I'm really looking forward to this season of t-ball, not only as a fun time with my daughter, but also as a great way to make new friends in our community, and give back to kids and parents. Too bad games are on nights when I can rarely make it, but I'm gonna try and move my schedule around a bit because this is really important to me. Play Ball!
