Sport in Perspective

It has really bothered me to see the press about the Santa Barbara fire focusing on the celebrities. Many people who are not celebrities lost their homes and all their possessions. This is a great article that puts the fire, sport and winning in perspective http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-plaschke18-2008nov18,0,5737203.column

  3. Thank you, Vern. Drawing readers’ attention to stories like these is one of the many reasons I look forward to reading your blog. As a coach, this story will hang on my bulletin board for those days when things seem overwhelmingly gray and I need a reminder of the strong character sports can develop.
    Thank you!
