Dear Mr. Slusher,
Now that the seventh grade basketball season has come to an end, | want to tell you how much your skill
as a coach and your excellent communication is appreciated
Observing rules and consequences serve to build character and instill responsibilty in our children. Your
coaching (calls and instructions) to players makes them stronger and better players.
Prior to one of the games, | observed your response to an angry parent. You demonstrated a level of
maturity beyond your years of age and experience. Unfortunately, accolades cannot erase the anxiety,
frustration, and/or consternation caused by such an event,
No doubt you will encounter a few difficult situations during your career. However, your calm reserve and
firm resolve will serve you well. Your leadership, sensitivity, and coaching style is a model to be
‘emulated,
‘Thanks for providing my grandson with great guidance, sensitivity, and leadership.
Sincerely,
Get Oekecailt
Pat DeRossett
