YOUTH SPORTS: Thanks to all the coaches

| June 7, 2024 1:00 AM

I want to give a big shout out to all the athletic coaches that volunteer so much of their time for the children in our community. These dedicated people generously give their time, energy and expertise to mentor and guide our youth athletes. Not only are they teaching them sports, but they are teaching them lifelong values of teamwork, discipline and resilience during challenging moments.

Brent Everson, Mike Gregg, Dan Haley, Alex Harris and Skylar Mantz with Coeur d’Alene Sharks and Coeur d’Alene Little League have taught my boys self-agency, what it means to be a teammate and perseverance. On behalf of the community, I would like to extend a sincere thank you to all the volunteer coaches who tirelessly contribute to the well-being and development of our youth. Your efforts are deeply appreciated and your impact is immeasurable.
