Put Me In Coach
We all want to do something to contribute to our societies growth and development. There is a long learning curve if we are going to position ourselves to truly impact our communities. I remember my first year of high school. I had made the varsity cut but never got to play in the varsity games unless it was a blowout. I remember jokingly saying, “Put me in coach” as he walked by me on the bench during a close game. He just gave me a quick smile and rubbed me on the head and said, “your day is coming, so make sure you’re ready when it does.” I knew he was talking about all the little things I need to work on while there were no fans sitting in the bleachers. Impacting our communities for the good is no different. We are all going to get a chance to leave our mark, and if we have not prepared we will probably make mess of it.
