Coaches Day
Parents and teachers are very important. But we should not forget about coaches. Julie Foudy, an Olympic gold medalist, said that sports make better people. She knows what she is talking about. The skills we learn in sports help us in all areas of life. Confidence, communication, teamwork — these are all important in sports and in life. The best coaches in the world show us how to be successful.
