THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

Parents and Girls,

I've been very fortunate enough to receive some awesome awards over the past years for my work at WieFit as best Cincy trainer of the year, and best new business of the year, along with awards at former jobs, and back when I competed in that goofy sport of bodybuilding!  Even the awards I got back in my college and high school playing days.  As much as they all meant to me, I can 100% tell you that being selected as the 2013 Youth Soccer Club Coach of the Year means more to me than all of those other ones wrapped up in one!

When I received it today, I made some calls and found out some of you awesome parents nominated me. That in itself means a lot.  Winning it means a ton too--you really must have done a good job trying to sell me... :)

I think it means so much because sometimes I might question the time and sacrifice, and wonder if it's worth it.  But, I can tell you with 100% certainty, that once every practice and/or game begins, and I see how a group of girls work so hard together to achieve common goals, I know that it's not only worth it, but I am benefiting just as much as the girls are.  In fact, I truly feel that as much as I may give, that the girls (and parents) efforts give back to me 10x more than what I could ever give.   And I sincerely thank each one of you for that.

This team is very special.  I talk about this team 24/7 (yes, maybe I am little obsessed... :) ).    But, each of you girls mean that much to me.  You all work so darn hard and are great kids both on and off the field.  This is also a true reflection from how your parents have raised you, and I am glad to call each of you as parents "friends".  I've yet to ever meet another coach that could honestly state that and really mean it!   I am so thankful that we are a "drama free" team no matter if we win or lose.

Thanks for being such supportive parents; and girls thanks for being such truly amazing and awesome girls!

Brian

P.S. I can't wait to go to the awesome Marriott Griffin Gates to receive this award.  I will take my family, spend the night, and celebrate!  Thanks all.  Here is the link to the other winners (referee, players, etc.).
