RUNNING THE BOARDS WITH COACH ED LEONARD

 

Hello Campers and Parents!!!

Another great year has come and gone. I want to say "thank you" for allowing me to coach you again.  I also want to say "thanks" to the other coaches and the medical staff for doing such a great job again.   I hope everyone had fun again.   I know I did.   I am really glad to see how the camp has grown over the years, which is the result of the hard work Monica, Larry, and the other organizers have done. 

The one thing that astonishes me about this camp is how well everyone gets along.   I have worked countless camps over the years, but this camp has the best atmosphere.  Everyone was always very encouraging and accepting of one another.  This camp isn’t like a normal basketball camp; it’s more like a family reunion!  Many of you have become friends over the years, which is pretty rare for a week long camp. That just shows you how special this camp is. Remember that life is always going to have its obstacles; you just have to be able to adapt and work with it.  I hope that, over the years, I have taught you as much as you have taught me. I don’t want to sound like a parent but, make sure you stay on top of your schoolwork.  I better not hear of anyone slacking on their studies!!!!

 Thanks, again, to everyone that was involved with the 2007 Slam Dunk for Diabetes Camp.  I hope to see you all back next year.

Sincerely,

 Coach Leonard
