You cheered, you screamed,
You made us laugh, you fostered our dreams,
You took the time to believe in us,
You earned our respect, friendship and trust.
You knew what to say to inspire and excite,
You shared our glory and praised what was right,
You taught us confidence and how to be strong,
Tactfully critiqued us when things went wrong.
You understood our fervor and frustration,
Your leadership procured our relentless admiration,
And even when spirits were quenched by defeat,
You devotedly pulled us back up on our feet.
In our budding lives, the part you have played,
Will outshine all the serves, sets and hits made,
For your eternally enthusiastic approach,
Thank you so much for all you’ve done, Coach!
