Lookout, you might have moaned in this one thread, but to me what has always come across is your intention to make the experience as possible as possible for the children you are coaching.

If you've recognised that other people's opinions were affecting your enjoyment and have decided not to let them then you have my complete respect. But never doubt that you have set many young people a great example regardless of how you felt inside.

The other night in the pub there were only three customers by 22.00. I was hoping they would bugger off as I might get to go home early. Then they started talking about the teachers, youth group workers, coaches and priests who they respected and who had helped them 30-50 years ago. I was almost disappointed when John said I could go as soon as I'd washed the drip trays! I think every adult can remember an adult they looked up to and respected when they were a child. The world needs people like you.

Glad you've decided to enjoy it again.
