Since I will not post regularly until the New Year I want to
take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season. This
is always a special time of year, personally it a time to give thanks for
family and friends and to appreciate the good fortune that we have received.
Sport is a special way to make to friends and influence people. Each year that
I coach I realize and appreciate it more. There are so many people I want to
thank and acknowledge at this time of year, obviously my family who are always
so supportive and special. I especially want to thank the Venice girls’
volleyball team, the coaches and the families. This group of young ladies has
reignited my passion for coaching and reaffirmed my faith in the younger
generation. This is a special group of young ladies that are destined for
greatness in 2009, they are a joy to coach and fun to be around. I hope that
each of you get the opportunity to work with people like this.

Happy Holidays coach…can’t wait till june. Saw this this morning and thought i would share it with you….talking about paying it forward..another coach recognizing you for all you have done..this is just part of it…
I try to pay it forward every chance I get to honor people like Don Chu, Vern Gambetta, Al Vermeil, Mike Woicek, Rusty Jones, Johnnie Parker and a host of other great coaches who answered a young coaches questions when there was nothing in it for them. I believe you do your best work when you expect nothing in return. As I age I also believe more and more that what goes around comes around. Karma is an interesting concept.

You know you are having a good Christmas when you open a present and you find a Vern Gambetta t-shirt! Great shirt!
