" A football team is like a piano. You need eight men to carry it and three who can play the damn thing. "
― Bill Shankly

For most guys their first role model they look up to is their fathers. Eventually when they grow up they look outwards to find new idols to learn from. For kids who get into sport their coaches become their second role models in their lives. They become the influencers that shape the kid’s life for the rest of their adult lives. Coaches are important and sometimes it’s important to let them know it. You can do that with words and you can do it with the right gift.

The best gift for a coach is, I presume, to watch their players give their best performance. That doesn’t mean they’re impervious to a well chosen material gift that lets them know you appreciate their contributions.
