@FundamentalUA
. Their intelligence, skill, maturity, and love fueled me to be a better coach and person. I’m forever indebted to these guys and so proud of them. THANK YOU 22 & 24!!
About 1000 days ago, I just finished up coaching 15U for FU. Had been a varsity assistant for the last 5 years and lost out on a head coaching job. I took a job as a Freshman B coach at NT so long as Coach Fricke let me have involvement with varsity. I’m forever grateful for that
