I hope everyone reading this knows what it means to have a great coach in your life. I have been lucky to have had several. My dad is probably the greatest. As the father of six kids, he found time to coach us all, not just in life, but in each of our individual sports. He always says, "It's hard to be a champion." I think that sums up the work of a coach. A coach first has to instill in you the commitment, dedication, motivation, and desire to reach a certain goal. Then they push you, support you, teach you, challenge you to reach that goal. And then, they do it again, and again, and again.

This Giving Tuesday we want to honor coaches and we want you to share your stories of what it means to have a coach in your life. Then we want you to give that gift to another child. Your donation directly supports coaches in schools and communities helping kids set and reach goals! Please join us this year!
