One of the many things I enjoy about sports is the opportunity to share coaching experiences with others who choose to teach the game and share their talents.
My columns this past winter were apparently received with a great deal of enthusiasm and appreciation (which is very humbling, by the way) as evident by the many calls and e-mails I received from coaches, athletic directors and recreation center personnel. One community, in particular, went so far as to ask yours truly to speak to a group of coaches ready to embark upon an exciting spring and summer season of youth sports.
The Brecksville-Broadview Heights Center of Recreation and Parks, under the direction of Dale Alexander, recently hosted a special seminar for its coaches titled "Work Hard -- Play Fair -- Display Good Sportsmanship." Alexander, who I've had the pleasure of working with in the past, and event coordinator Lori Siwik organized a terrific program in which more than 80 coaches took part.
