For the love of the game...


Little League season is long over but I couldn't leave this out of the end of the school year wrap up.
Cooper's team went undefeated the entire season.
They played in the All Stars game and won that as well.
They did have a pretty great coach that carried them on his shoulders--if it were possible to physically carry a team on your shoulders.
If it could be done then Brent would be the man to do it.
He puts everything into this game.
He expects a lot from his boys, no matter they were only 7 and 8 years old this season.
But he teaches and gives every part of him right back to them.
His time, his knowledge, his experience but more than anything his love for the game.



And when you are done playing for Coach Brent you go away feeling like you learned a bunch, you played hard, if you made a mistake he taught you how to fix it, and you feel like a champion--no matter the score at the end of the game.
Best of all for Cooper, he gets to bring the coach home and just call him Dad : )
