Here is the link to the announcement on TV about Avery Dowling making the finals of the Pitch,Hit,Run http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/kids/mlb_pitch_hit_run.jsp This is the National finals that she worked her way into starting at our park this past Spring. Avery place 3rd at the Nationals, we are all very proud of her accomplishments, and the dedication of her parents.
  1. Photo: Avery went through several competitions first at SAYS and won 1st place then Conroe 1st place then Minute Maid Park 1st place and out of 650,000 participants she won a all expenses paid trip with companion (me) to Kansas City, MO to compete! Monday we went to MLB All-Star brunch, met several MLB players and mascot from several teams, went to Fan Fest, watched the All-stars warm up, had the Pitch Hit and Run competition, shagged balls for MLB All-stars Home Run Derby (she was on TV) and Tuesday back to Fan Fest for awards Ceremony , had some free time there, went to Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, and then went to the 83rd MLB All-Star game! These 3 days in Kansas have been amazing and the best experience for myself and Avery. She received so many awesome things from Aquifina Pitch, Hit,Run. They treated us likes kings and queens. We met a lot of wonderful people who we will continue to keep in touch with! I am proud to say that Avery received 3rd place in this competition and I am so very proud of her! This is a memory of a lifetime!

Searching for Role Models
As we look around the world today, it is common to become disappointed, hurt, or confused when someone you have admired as a role model or leader fails to live up to your expectations. A constant concern we hear in the athletic arena is the lack of leadership or the absence of great role models. Has it become a question of being cautious to be a role model in case we fail ourselves? Is it too much to ask of someone to make good choices all the time? To a point where peer pressure will discourage our potential leaders and they will choose to run away from the challenge of leading and becoming a positive role model. It becomes very hard to lead when people do not want to be led!

We are living in a society that lacks trust in others. From the constant violence we see around the world and at home to the constant disappointment felt by our leaders in sport and society. It has become much easier for most to turn their back and not stand up for what is right. Role models and leaders are essential in building success. Whether it is in the athletic arena or at home, people must be willing to set the right example 24/7 each and every day by making good choices and living their lives by principles built around trust, honesty, hard work, caring for others, and having a positive effect on people. These are the characteristics of role models and leaders that lead to not only success but happiness in life.

As coaches, parents, and teammates, we must be willing to be that role model and leader. It comes down to making the right choices and encouraging others that the right way is the only way to have a positive effect on people. Who knows- maybe 1 by 1, we can develop leaders and role models both on and off the field.

In simplest terms, we are talking about great people that have great character. I know they are out there!

Until next month,
Coach Candrea
