I cant tell you how awesome this makes me feel.

We had our favorites too. Some of the coaches were a bit sadistic but most of them were trying to help us.

Glad to know it is still like that. Keep it up you do make a difference.

I was locked up for several years between 11 and 18 in youth centers. We called the staff coaches. I ran into some of them on the outside and they were genuinely interested to hear how I was doing.

I saw one of my old coaches on an episode of Gangs on A&E I think. I emailed him after I saw the episode and he knew who I was immediately. He was glad I had not been pulled into a life of crime after turning 18 (even though I did continue it for a few years).

Would you be interested to see how some of your old charges are doing?

I know some of the coaches appreciated the kids that never caused any problems. How about you?
