Brady's nice compliment

I don't think it is unfair to say that Brady's baseball coach is intense. He really gets into the games and takes it all very seriously, despite the fact he is working with 8 year-old boys. He sends lengthy emails after each game giving play by play feedback to each player. And he gives the "game ball" for the kid he deems most worthy. He really missed his calling as a professional coach. Or as a motivational speaker. Here is an excerpt from his last email:

"The game ball for yesterday's game will go to Brady Cima, Brady had a nice base hit and 2 RBI's to help lead our team to victory. Batting well in the #10 position is critical to our team's success this year, and when the bases were loaded, Brady delivered for us in a big way yesterday! Also, Brady showed all of us the true meaning of never giving up, and coming back yesterday with a very solid baseball game. As mentioned above, I was very proud of Brady for coming out and giving it his best after a rough start to the season last weekend. I'm sure we'll see more of Brady's big heart as we move forward with this season. For those of you that don't know Brady very well, he is a very neat kid, so please take a minute to congratulate him when you see him next! I wanted him on our team this year to help show the other kids what passion for life looks like..."

It made Brady's day. And Brock's. Thanks Coach Brad.

He is surely a neat kid. Just proves kids can't help being awesome when their parents are amazing too!

That is super cute and goes a long way with an 8 year old!
