Islander Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 While at the Hamshire-Fannett soccer tournament, the Silsbee Soccer Coach made it a point to speak with me today. It was a very good experience.His sincere words regarding last years tournament made a significant impression on me. The Coach's comments centered around the important things in high school sports. The Coach spoke of sportsmanship and playing with the right attitude. The need to realize that your opponent is not an enemy, but just another person wanting to play a game. After the short time that I spent with him, I am confident that his concern for the welfare of others significantly enhances his ability to be a good leader for impressionable young men.Good Luck to you, Coach. I wanted to thank you again for your comments. I am confident that those comments will echo in my mind in the future when I remember my trip to Hamshire-Fannett.

HJ would cakewalk over the Tigers if they lost 3 or 4 starters due to ejection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st34-10 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Coach Durant is a very good soccer coach. He is approaching this soccer season with a different mindset it would seem. The change in approach has led Silsbee to a good record. Sounds like he is in the lead for the Coach of the Year award.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
