Thank You Letter To My Former Coaches

Dear former coaches,

I want to start by thanking you for taking part in getting me to where I am as an athlete today. I would not have been able to be in the position I am now without all the time and effort you put into me as a person and an athlete. I never thanked you enough for giving me the opportunity to play at my full potential.

Thank you for teaching me more about how to be a good person and teammate than just how to be a good athlete. You taught me that the sum is greater than the parts. If you're team is getting better, then you are individually getting better. I have a determination to win because of you. My will to get better started with you pushing me to be that way.

I might not have been the most skilled at what we were doing in practice every single day, but you never gave up on me. I cannot thank you enough for never giving up on me as an athlete. You were there through all of it. The good, the bad, and the unbelievable moments were all accompanied by you. Thank you for being there through every part of my athletic career.

Thank you for all of the extra training you put in. The long individual training sessions trying to build my ability as a player. You took as much time as it needed to get me where I needed to be. You pushed me to do more than what I thought I was capable of. You pushed me to be better than my best. That is a lesson I will always keep with me.

Thank you for being a coach I could trust. You were someone I could lean on whenever things were not going my way. You always had my back and you made sure I knew that. It was obvious you wanted to train me to help me get to the next level. Because of you, I was given that opportunity and I have you to thank for that. The work you helped me put in behind the scenes made me the player that I am today.

Every time I come back to my high school field, I can't help but smile remembering all of the great times I had on that field. Not everyone is blessed with a coach that they can continue to have a relationship with after the games have come to an end. I appreciate the belief you put in me. Your belief made me believe in myself as a player.

Thank you for everything you have done for me as a coach. I can never repay you for the lessons you taught me. You have tremendously impacted my life, and I still use those lessons to this day. Because of you I have been given the opportunity to still pursue my sport in college. This is an opportunity I couldn't have ever imagined without your help and support. Your support has mean't the world to me. I can never truly thank you enough for everything you have done for me.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
