Saying Thank You To Your Child's Coach is Important

It’s that time of year again.  Summer is fading away, school will soon begin and before we know it the leaves will be falling and autumn will have arrived. I love this time of year.  The air is crisp and cool and as the leaves change colors so a new season is determined to begin.  It can be a beautiful but busy season for a family with kids.

 No long can they sleep in till noon, play video games and chat on face book, endlessly.  Pool days and summer time jobs will be replaced with homework and yep sports!  Sports are a huge part of our American culture.  Parents and grandparents, coaches, spectators, and the players themselves love the competition and work.  But let’s face it. It’s not just the kids who work hard.

  It’s the mom and dad the take and pick up, help buy shoes, find the perfect cleats, bring snacks on their turn, wash dirty uniforms that get placed in the laundry only hours before the big game and on and on. 

So if it had to be said all parents should get a huge thank you gift basket delivered to their door for each season.  But we all know if you are a parent, its part of the joy and work of being a mom or dad.  But there are those coaches that people want to thank.  You watch their dedication to your child and multiple others kids on the field. You know they are standing in the hot sun or cold field when they could be hitting balls or skiing on a mountain with their own family. But instead they are there, rooting, cheering, and training your son or daughter.  Are they perfect?  For sure not.  There are times you know if you could just offer your advice it would go smoother or better?  At least is seems that way. But overall you appreciate their dedication and the many hours they volunteer.  But as the season ends everyone is tired, and even though you thought about doing something great for the coach you have run out of ideas. Everyone has signed a gifted ball before, given a gift certificate and signed a cared. You want to do something unique.  Well, a thank you gift basket is the key.  It can be filled with the coach’s favorite treats, a gift card for a night on the town, flavored coffee and even a personalized shirt.  The possibilities are just endless.  But just think how grateful he will feel long after the games are played when he sifts through the wonderful thank you gift basket that was filled with love and fun from his biggest fans-the parents!
