..and the TSO..then you supported my efforts with the kids and that was
outstanding and they appreciated the blessing. Then the BAM started and I had the chance to learn from the EF scholar(via phone, email, or post) and his coaching genius
you enlightend me on the style of play and stayed patient when I asked questions..often saying "...just hang in there..." I thank you. The true character of a leader is his following...just look around the country and TSO rules in 1 form or another has made an impact. The most incredible attribute of it all is the willingness by fellow Coaches to share this information and EF experience nationwide....that is fellowship in it's purest form. As of yesterday Coach RD has bestowed his graces on me as a member of "Raider Nation"

We watch what you do with the kids and that takes energy, patience, and love. It inspires as well.
I heard you had a special award for me and I am truly grateful for that. I don't know if I really deserve anything(from the jr coaches, The BAM, and I it is well deserved Coach Reg) as I was just a casual fan of the BAM! You guys put in the work, the effort, and faith to try and stick to a ruleset foreign to you.
You deserve much credit after starting 0-3 in a system like this. You inspired those who thought 0-3 meant "playing out the string". You contacted great minds in the game and with the help of Joe Greco, you persevered! Congrats and thanks for the trophy. I will see it in time and display it proudly.
