“When we first met, you were just a coach to me. Then you quickly became a mentor, big brother, and father figure. You showed me first hand how to be a champion in all aspects of life, on and off the field. You’ve done things and made sacrifices for me and my career, knowing the sky was the limit, without expecting anything in return. You believed in me when no one else did. You taught me to be selfless. You taught me to be fearless. You taught me to believe in myself! You are the big brother/father I never had but always wanted. I can’t think of a time when I struggled in life, where my first thought wasn’t to call you. Or a time where I didn’t hear your voice coaching me through it. I will forever be grateful for the bond we’ve created over the years. Thank you for everything.”
