CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON

A coaching son. 5 Spring Sports with "playing" grandsons.  
Soccer. (1) Baseball. (1)  Football. (2) Basketball. (3) The weekly schedule resembles an algorithm---I couldn't even begin to inter the data needed to implement said schedule to fit all 5 kids, all sports and factor in a dad who must arrive early to coach each one on different teams while holding down his "full-time" job.
Arrival times at practices and weekly games with Daddy coaching each one of them is a logistical nightmare to me----but....day by day, step by step and with a carpool here and there, they work it out.
This week the season was over for the final sport and "all" participants were winners even though only one made it to the playoff finals.
Completion made it a championship season. Winning or just learning----all were champions!
However, the 8th grade boys' Tiger team actually got the shirt to prove it with Coach Buddy (Daddy) smiling on!! (Oldest grandson, Nathan, front left)
