Coaching goes beyond the field
I had the pleasure of reconnecting with one of my old players, Steve Carden, while filling in for the loss of Physical Education teacher Joe Latella at the high school.
I have to admit the role of a coach these days is a lot different than the Whitey Piurek, George Hanchette, Mike Anquillare days.
To the parents of these players: you are very lucky to have Coach Carden, not for just what these kids do on the field, but in the classroom, and accountability outside of school. You need to remember Coach Carden is a husband father as well as being a coach!
So before you starting judging how he coaches a game, take a step back and realize you have someone who is looking beyond the baseball field.
