Mom Influences Son's Coach

As a football coach (St Augustine Prep) of Claire's son Jonathan, I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to observe her keen sense of adoring care and never distracted attention of love for her children...as well as for those who have influenced and/or impacted their growth and development.

Once, after addressing parents on the harsh and uneven mental and physical stresses & strains that their young adolescent sons would experience, going through my strength and conditioning program, Claire was approaching me from a few yards away... I thought for sure, Mom was a high-conflict personality, coming to put me in my place!

As she got closer and slowed her step, without really stopping, and with a comforting smile and wide open eyes sad: " Really Coach, I hope you're able to pull this off and get away with it around here" !

All contact with Claire from that point on was brief and extremely poignant of implied and applied interest in Jon and the other siblings... Claire had always commuicated that she trusted me, even if she didn't undersand the trust of my expertice and non-expertice in all situations...

In memory of Claire, I'd have to acknowledge that what I have ever done, influenced, impacted and/or given to her son Jonathan... Only Pales, in comparison to Her Love and Dedication!!!
