Coaching Again


As many of you know, Taylor's passion is football. He loved to play it and even more than that he LOVES to coach. It's that time of year again and Taylor is coaching a little league team again. In the past he has always coached for Jordan High's little league program. This year he has moved on to a new program. This year he is coaching for Hillcrest High's little league program. After feeling for a while like Jordan's program was going down hill, he was very excited to get the opportunity to coach for Hillcrest. His old coach and very good friend, Brandon Plant, called him up and asked Taylor if he would coach his son's team with him. This is a new challenge for Taylor. This is is first year coaching the youngest kids. He's coaching 8 and 9 year olds. He has always been able to coach kids who have some experiance. Most of these kids have never played football. Some barely even know what it is. Though it is hard to give up my evenings with my wonderful hubby, it's really worth it. When I see the excitement and pride in Taylor, it makes the nights alone not seem so bad. He loves doing this. I think that he loves coaching more then playing because he gets to be a part of the kids lives. Some of them will leave the season never caring if they ever see Taylor again. But, there will be the few who will never forget the years that Taylor coached them.
