There's A Person Behind The Coach (dont Let Ef Fool You)

[mantaraydre]

Coaches,


Every now and then a post arises that brings turmoil with it. A climate of bickering and CLICKering brings forth a hatfields and mccoy's atomsphere. What many of us seem to forget is we are people first, ef coach last! THERE IS A PERSON BEHIND THE COACH ! EVERYONE ON THIS CHAT HAS A REAL JOB, A LOVING FAMILY, AND A PERSONALITY OUTSIDE OF MINIATURE FOOTBALL. DONT EVER ASSUME OR LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSE'S OPINION ABOUT A PEER UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY MEET THAT PERSON FACE TO FACE.
THAT GOE'S FOR MINIATURE FOOTBALL AND ALL WALK'S OF LIFE.
a FELLOW CO-WORKER SAID SOMETHING TO ME THAT STUCK WITH ME FOR YEARS. " when you deal with people, sometimes you have to wait and peel back the onion." then you will see the real person !!!!!!! i FIND IT HIGHLY AMAZING THAT SOME FRIENDSHIPS THAT WERE FORMED DUE TO THIS HOBBY HAVE BEEN TERMINATED OVER THIS TOY! . ONE OF MY FAVORITE RAPPERS, (KRS1) ONCE SAID, "MUST THERE BE BEEF"
HERE ARE SOME OF MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES

1) REG RUTLEDGE , After meeting him at my first TEXAS SHOOTOUT, WE SAT AROUND AFTERWORDS AND JUST TALKED. myself. reg, rose and mike robertson.We had the greatest time, reg told me you have a friend for life.

2) george diamond, I think george is a great guy, he showed me great hospitality at his events, came to my and showed me how to tweek bases.
Always making sure i was doing ok for the weekend. I spend hundreds of dollars on his product. i love going to harrisburgh.

3)JIMBO, This guy get a bad rap sometimes on this chatboard. You may even think he is a bully. I asked about his strat divider on the miggle last year and he said "ARE YOU SLOW ", VERY MEAN!!!! ( PEEL BACK THE ONION) I never responded (peel back the onion). We finally met at the seawallbrawl for the first time. I HAVE NEVER MET A NICER GUY IN MY LIFE. He was with me the whole weekend making sure i was o.k, teaching me things on the board. at the mixer outside i was watching him hold his child chatting with his family just having a good time. This was not the perceived monster that was made out on the chatboard. ( THERE A PERSON BEHIND THE COACH THAT IM GLAD I WAITED TO PEEL BACK THE ONION. JIMBO IS MY BOY FIRST ANBD FOREMOST)

JIMMIE BOY DAVIS OUT OF DETROIT, All i can say is I LOVE JIM DAVIS, THAT MY MAN !!!!! Jim is the first to hug me where ever i am. I had the greatest time at the seawall brawl hanging out in his room with his wife NAY NAY "I GOT TO CALL YOU GUY'S" I must have been in there for at least two hours, Jiim, she is the greatest. She said she doesn't really warm up to people "BUT I DRE". That meant alot to me. Jim stay away from those diet mountain dew's. JIM, YOUR THE MAN !!!!!!


I know this is long but i have many more stories of "Theres a person behind the coach" series. I WILL CONTINUE WITH OTHER EXPERIENCES WITH REPLIES ON THIS THREAD.
