From Tony

SPECIAL THANKS

HEY GANG I HAVE HAD A WEEK TO THINK ABOUT WHAT TRANSPIRED LAST WEEK AND THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS WOW!
WOW, I TURNED 40 YEARS OLD. WOW, WE HOSTED ONE OF OUR BEST TOURNAMENTS EVER. WOW, WE HAVE THE BEST PARENTS AND PLAYER PARTICIPATION EVER.

PARENTS, A SPECIAL THANKS FOR HELPING HOST A GREAT TOURNAMENT. FROM THE SCORE TABLES, THE CONCESSION STAND AND SHIRT TABLE. YOU GUYS MADE THIS EXPERIENCE A GREAT ONE, NOT ONLY FOR US COACHES BUT FOR ALL THE PLAYERS THAT ATTENDED THIS TOURNAMENT. I THINK JEN LEADERS SUMMED IT UP THE BEST WHEN SHE OVERHEARD A COUPLE OF PLAYERS AND COACHES COMMENT ON HOW ORGANIZED AND SMOOTH THIS TOURNAMENT WAS. THEY COULDN'T WAIT TO SIGN UP FOR NEXT YEAR. SHE TOLD ME, IT MADE HER FEEL PROUD TO HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. I HOPE ALL PARENTS FEEL AS PROUD AS JEN BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT. GREAT JOB PARENTS!

KIDS, YOU CAN REALLY MAKE A COACH WONDER WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO. WELL I GUESS I DO WHAT I DO BECAUSE OF YOU ALL. I TRULY LIVE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH EACH OF YOU KIDS. YOUR SUCCESS & YOUR FAILURES, I TRULY FEEL ALL OF THEM. I TRULY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COACH EVERYONE OF YOU KIDS. YOU MAKE MY LIFE THAT MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE, YOU MAY NOT SEE IT EVERY TIME I AM COACHING YOU BUT IT IS THERE. YOU KIDS GAVE ME THE BEST GIFT A COACH LIKE ME WILL EVER GET. YOUR THOUGHTS, YOUR FEELINGS ON PAPER ATTACHED WITH YOUR PICTURES. THANK YOU KIDS IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME.

THANK YOU TO MY TEAMMATES AND ALL THE PARENTS THAT WISHED ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY. YOU ALL MADE MY DAY VERY SPECIAL.

TRISH & MAT TAYLOR, I CANT SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH. TRISH A SPECIAL THANKS TO YOU BECAUSE A LITTLE BIRD TOLD ME YOU HAD A LOT TO DO WITH ORGANIZING MY SPECIAL GIFT FROM THE KIDS. ON TOP OF IT ALL YOU MADE THE TIME TO DO THAT FOR ME. I WILL NEVER FORGET IT, THANKS.
