Jeff M. is the one I need too because I really need a positive person. He never gave up and his coach encouraged him.

Nice knowing there are coaches that simply aren't interested in winning, instead in helping youngsters to get to know themselves & gain confidence in themselves. My grandchildren have had coaches that were not men of valor, coaches whose only interest in coaching was to elevate themselves in the community. Those sort of coaches should not be coaches of children.

Your Everyday Hero: Jeff M.

My soccer coach, Jeff M. is my hero. He has showed me so much not only in soccer but also about my outlook on life. I am a usually a negative person about myself and the things I do. Every time I would do something wrong in soccer I would take it out on myself. He is the one who would encourage me after everything I did, good or bad. It really helped, and I started to play much better. I am now the starting left defender on my team and usually play the whole game. So, thank you Coach Jeff.
