Some people tell me that I place too much emphasis on sports, that there was much more going on in high school worthy of recognition. There may be some truth to that, and rest assured that I will do a better job of going beyond sports. However, good coaches do more than teach you how to play a game or hone skills. They play a significant role in developing character, values, and set one's moral compass in the right direction. Charlie Bauer was one of the good coaches who had a lifelong influence in many dimensions of my life. He will be missed.
