The moment I knew I wanted to be a coach. I watched my mentor, Coach Flikke, take a kid who everyone else saw as a troublemaker… and just sit with him. Two hours. No yelling. No punishment. Just love, patience, and presence. By the end of that day, that kid’s walls came down. His eyes lit up. He belonged. That moment taught me: skills win games, but love changes lives. That’s the kind of coach I want to be—every single day. #CoachBallgame #Storytime #WhyICoach #LoveWins #YouthSports #CoachLife
