Time comes at the same pace for everybody. 24 hours a day,
60 minutes an hour, 60 seconds a minute. Time is a currency that we take for
granted because of the way in which it comes, automatically, because we exist. We
wake up and it’s there. Choosing where to spend our time is up to us. We use
this currency to buy memories, consequences, regrets, and triumphs.
After assessing where the program needs to be and how much
time I choose to give the program, I have decided that the program will be
better under someone else’s care. This was not an easy decision for me, but it
is the right one.
After our last game I had an overwhelming feeling of my inadequacy
as a coach. I haven’t been able to bring the program to the heights I had
envisioned, nor had the success I had imagined. However, I do think that my
time coaching was time well spent. I learned a lot, have incredible memories, new
friendships, some regrets, and the satisfaction of giving of myself so others
can benefit.
I have learned a lot about myself throughout these last five
years. The wise Ghandi once said that the best way to find yourself is to lose
yourself in the service of others. I hope you as players take the opportunity to
serve your community, family, friends, classmates, and coworkers. No matter
what the outcome, you will have used your time in a very fulfilling way, and
the world will be that much better.
Thank you parents for your help and support. Thank you
players for doing your best. I’m honored to be a part of your life and hope to
be able to continue to benefit you in any way I can.
Thanks for spending your precious time with me.
Love,
Coach Taylor and Dresden
