Ever notice PRESENCE on the field?
At times a powerful force, and other times a weakness shows.
*How important is PRESENCE?
Little story of PRESENCE~
Nearly 25 years after playing/coaching in college.
An alumni Long Beach State player who is Head Coach Fullerton jr. College asked if i would help coach. So i did.
A pre-season game was scheduled against UCLA.
( yes jc. against UCLA, it was eye opening to say the least for the jc players)
Befor the game both teams coaches got together to go over rosters.
My name appeared as a coach.
UCLA Coach Kelly Inouye pointed at it.
Our Fullerton coach said
"Do you remember her? Catcher from Long Beach State?"
Coach Inouye replied,
"She's that intense catcher."
Amazing decades later to stand in front of such a PRESENCE she commands and hear her remember me on the field.
I responded with,
A great big smile, hand shake,
and a Thank You!
And then i asked...
"Are coaches going to be allowed to hit?"
She laughed and said
"Oh its going to be like that!"
Thank You Coach Inouye!
