Coach Poems & Quotes

Coach- We finally learned What life is all about... The secret of success Comes hard....no doubt! We trained, we sweated We ached, we cried... And found out we got better Each time we tried! We were pushed, yelled at Preached at, too.... But the more that this happened, the more that we grew! "You can be anything you want to be!" This voice kept shouting out to us. Yet who can we blame for such a daring approach? That General.... That Counselor.... That Friend I call MY COACH!		COACH Coach, friend, leader, biggest fan. There aren't enough words to describe what you've meant to us these years. You've been by our side through thick and thin. Whether its a hug to congratulate, Or to wipe away the tears. You've brought us strength when we were weak, You've given us courage when we felt meek. Always pushing us to do our best, To never give up until we've beaten the rest. You taught us how to be a team, And to strive for our goals, No matter how impossible they seem. We've been pushed, yelled at, preached at, too, But the more that this happened, the more we grew. We will carry you with us for the rest of our lives, Hearing that voice encouraging us to overcome any strife. It's hard to say good-bye, but we want you to know, how thankful we are for that friend we call Coach. TO Laurie Wager Varsity Cheer Coach Mascoutah (IL) High School From her cheerleaders

So take this simple message and share it wherever you go. Be yourself and share your love because your coaches love you so!		LIFE LESSONS: A COACH'S LEGACY `by Gwen P. Holtsclaw` I will teach my team the pleasures of hard work And the importance of teamwork. I will show them the joys of reaching a goal And the satisfaction of finishing strong. I will explain to them the beauty of integrity And the fulfillment of fitness. I will know their name And demand thier best. I wll do these things because I love them And respect them. The surest way I know to teach these things Is to have them learn by my example.

ALL COACHES REMEMBER THIS ... Good coaches plan – great coaches plan every detail based on a strong personal philosophy Good coaches understand the game – Great coaches understand the game, their athletes, and how to teach both. Good coaches have strong beliefs – Great coaches are believed. Good coaches are positive – Great coaches have a positive passion. Good coaches make an athlete who they are = Great coaches make their athletes see what they can be and help them achieve it! Good coaches talk about their expectations – Great coaches have athletes who meet their expectations. by Bruce E. Brown		COACH You taught me determination. You gave me the skills to persist in life's game, and for that I always will give thanks for you and look back and boast that I had the privilege of calling you coach.

YOU TAUGHT ME... For a coach who saw more in me, More than I thought I could ever be, Who taught me to discipline This mind and the body I’m in, Who raised expectations and dreams, Beyond just an athlete’s schemes, Beyond normal endurance, Beyond myself, and ever since, I’m a greater man for it, Because you taught me not to quit.
