Ex "Expert"

Role model and coach are two separate things. You can be both - and a good coach should definitely be both - but role models don't have to be coaches.

And I am all for more and more ex-players and current players being role models especially for the girls. I know it has meant a lot to my DD to have had interactions with the older girls as she has grown older. That included girls in HS when she was in rec through girls in or have finished college who have interacted with her in various ways over the years. We were at a NPF game in Orlando recently and I know it made her feel good when one of the USSSA Pride girls recognized her and went out of her way to come over and say hello.

Wow, that is pretty neat!
