A COACH'S PRAYER
Written by : Jill Fantin ã
( 5x7 Print - J5050)
( 8x10 Print - J2099 )
Lord…Help me see how I can improve---
On my own performance and their every move
Lord let me hear the needs of each one---
In personal matters as well as in fun
Lift up my heart so that when things get tough-
I'll be reminded YOUR LOVE is enough
Speak to me © Guide me with comforting word
Tell me my prayers have been lovingly heard
Inspire me with new ideas I'll see
Impart to the ones now depending on me
Last of all LORD…
I'm convinced there's no length
To what we'll accomplish
Through Your constant
Strength.

Sometimes the days are long and hard,
Sometimes the goings rough.
They say the tough get going when
The going gets real tough.

You've put forth all your energy.
Inspiring us to learn.
Teaching us to not expect…
A thing we didn't earn.

You strive to make us winners,
Your goal is victory.
Your hope is to see us become
The bet that we can be.

We're rough around the edges,
But if you see us through…
You'll feel the pride for us someday
We've always felt for
You!

You put forth all your energy
Inspiring us to learn.
Teaching us to not expect
a thing we didn't earn.

Every time you sacrificed
and went the extra length
You helped us all to live and grow
In confidence and in strength.

You gave . . . you built . . . you lead us all . .
Using wise discretion.
You touched our lives with dignity
and left a deep impression.

The paths we'll take are choices made
because you cared to give

And taught us through your legacy
The rules we'll need to live.

SHAPING LITTLE ATHLETES

You helped shape little athletes,
just as a piece of clay
You helped to build their character
And spirit day by day.
Through you they gained integrity
And learned to love the game
You taught them that good sportsmanship
Should be their highest aim.
There's no greater value or higher esteem
Than learning to play and be part of a team.
The season is over
But good impressions have no end
We're thankful that you were our
Coach
                                          And very special friend.

You helped shape little cheerleaders
Just as a piece of clay
You helped to build their character
And spirit day by day.
You taught new stunts and new routines
And practiced with perfection
You were an inspiration
As you gave them each direction.
Looking back we're proud of all the things we've done together
For memories and friendships formed we know will last forever
It's been a great season
And good impressions have no end
We're proud to say that you're our
Coach
And very special
Friend.

WE FINALLY LEARNED WHAT LIFE IS ABOUT
(5X7 Print - 5538 GY )
 (8x10 Print - 0406 )

We finally learned what life is about
The secret of success comes hard no doubt!
We trained and we practiced . . . we ached and we cried
And we found we got better the harder we tried.
We were pushed, yelled at . . . preached at, too
But the more that this happened . . . the more we all grew!
“You can be anything you want to be!”
This voice kept shouting constantly.
So who can we blame for this daring approach?
 That General . . . That Counselor . . .
That Friend
 We call
 “COACH!
