This is what one of my normally quiet players said to me tonight at our flag football game.
Let me explain. “T” is a young man who has been a bit reserved both in his ability and his communication. He has always been a good team player, but he did not stand out in the crowd.
Then came tonight. We were short-handed and “T” had to play offense and defense for every play of the game. This was greatly increased playing time for him. He became a star with touchdowns and interceptions. When I yelled congratulations across the field while he was on defense, he said, “I got you coach!”
I was so glad to see him find his time to shine! This is why I coach!
