IF LIFE WAS A T-BALL GAME

By Scott McManigle on 5/16/2009 9:33 PM

I was amazed that not one player asked the score or who won the game. Believe it or not, none of the players even asked if they could play a specific postion either. The kids were so involved in the fun of the game they forgot the pressures of the game.

LOVE WHAT YOU DO

By Scott McManigle on 5/15/2009 9:06 PM

When you love what you do, it goes by so much quicker. Hopefully, the students involved in FAN Awards Network will see what sports can help provide them in their life. Whether playing, coaching or any other job, sports is a great way to spend your work day!

The Mental Part

By Scott McManigle on 5/14/2009 8:54 PM

No matter what sport I coach, I teach the science of the game just as much as the physical part. I think this is what starts to separate the good players from the average players. You can also see early on who is going to make a good coach after their playing days are over.

Nerves keep us honest, keep us concentrating and keep us from getting over confident.

Nominee Contacts

Lydia is such a good interviewer that everyone always gets into a conversation with her and forgets there is a camera present. What a great opportunity for students to get some public speaking experience. Lydia and I have our questions written down and we are ready to meet the nominees.

Winning vs Reputation

By Scott McManigle on 5/11/2009 10:49 PM

As we sit and watch these athletes, lets remember the simple times of how happy they are just playing the game. The recognition most of these award winners receive on May 21st from the FAN Awards Network will never be forgotten. They will have stories of that night to tell their families for years to come. So as you see a child just starting out in athletics, remember it is the positive recognition that fuels them, not the money.

Old Man Ball

I hope people can see how great our athletes are and how the area has produced some great talent. Only in Buffalo, NY can one go to play baseball in the middle of May and have the temperature close to freezing.
