Jason,
I’m writing to you about a coach that I feel would be a good choice for coach of the week. His name is Richard Michael and he coaches my son’s ten year old baseball team in north Edmonton. This is my son’s first year in baseball and having Richard has been a blessing to both my son and our family. Richard spends no less than six days per week with not only my son’s team but his other child’s team.
What makes Richard so special and unique is that he spends the extra time with kids often he has optional practices to help kids work on hitting or pitching or just to hit them some fly balls. We are a hockey family for sure, but with the effort that both Richard and his wife have given my son has excelled to the point he made the all-star team this week again due to extra time that Richard spends with my son Reid. I know you have many coaches that deserve this award, I hope you will consider Richard Michael. Coming from a hockey coach, he is one of the true good guys who will stay all hours until the last child is too tired to swing the bat.
Thanks Jason, this is a great idea and way for you and the team to recognize some true community heroes.
Best wishes,
Rick Holmes
