Hawk's Coach --

We refs do not allow each other to beat ourselves up, and while most coaches ought to be less self-aggrandizing, you are not in that category. You are definitely what used to be a Mensch. Your players are darn lucky to have you in their lives, and don't ever forget it. One loss, even one big loss, doesn't change that. The point to youth sports is the life lessons learned and your players will learn the most valuable lesson ever if they see you grow and improve from your mistakes. I just wish my daughter had had you when she was playing!
