Dear Vince;
From the bottom of my heart, I just want to say thank you! 48 hours ago I sat bewildered with what I was going to say to my son. As I continued to watch the game, I became even more frustrated with his performance and the performance of the team I was witnessing. I stopped cheering , even my motivation was gone! So I sat back and began to reflect .
As an educator I always feel it's my responsibility to try make a difference in every child's life. So I began to think of what could I do, what could we do and you came to mind. Within a short time you were committed to embracing the lives of 31 young men with a common goal of lacrosse. Twenty-four hours later you arrived. I cannot begin to tell you how much that evening meant to not only the Dlugozima family, but the entire Wingate University Lacrosse Family.
What you taught them in that brief intervention will stay with them for the rest of their lives. They came away with a fantastic win this evening, but moreover, the life lessons they learned from you, will help them way beyond the sport of lacrosse. This was evident in tonight's performance as well as the many discussions we heard embracing, and utilizing the various aspects of your presentation. Not only did they listen but they got it and were applying it already. A true testiment to the impact you had and our deepest gratitude for making a world of difference in the lives of not just 31, but an entire extended lacrosse family. Thank you,
The Dlugozima Family
