I called the coach who has been training my son for the last few days to see how it has been going.
He said he was really surprised at how strong Big A is, said he has really good technique and is a natural at the sport.
That was good to hear from a disinterested third party, somewhat like a pinch…
you know, pinch me so that I know that this is real and not just a dream…
He also said that he is very coachable…
“You tell him to do something and he does it.”
That was all nice to hear, but…
I wanted him to know that I really appreciated him giving his time and skill to help him. Three different times during the phone call, I expressed my heart felt gratitude for what he was doing.
Right before we hung up, he said something that really touched me.
“I want to thank you for trusting me with your son. It really means a lot to me.”
