Waukegan High School Varsity Softball Coach

[swright11]

It’s really upsetting and surprising to see some of these comments made about him. I’m a former Waukegan softball athlete (High School and Waukegan travel teams) and was under the current coach and I have nothing but admiration for this man. He not only was a coach and teacher of the game, but was also someone that I knew I could always come to for advice or just someone to listen to me. He was more than just present on the field (practice and playing) but he was also present off field. I don’t know what characteristic others look for in a coach but being there in all aspects is something I look for and value.

It seems that every time something is going wrong (a non winning season), the coach is to blame. Athletes are never the ones to blame, and even with some of the blame is given to them the finger is always pointed back to the coach. The coach can only do so much; most of it is has to be left up to the athlete.

Coach is an amazing man and someone who greatly influenced my softball career and life in general. I am currently a college athlete, playing both softball and volleyball. Many of the skills that I have now are a direct result of this coach. What exactly is wrong with Coach? Why such the dislike? I stand by everything that I have previously stated and it is such a shame that people have nothing else to do but try to bring others down. Do something productive with your life!!
