Well, I do appreciate that. I must say that I have learned that if the players who you coach know that you love them and care for them, they will play harder for you and reciprocate that love. I always try to remember that I am coaching kids. Some may have alot and other may have nothing, but I try to treat them all the same. If they need a place to stay, they are welcome in my home (my wife and I have actually become pretty good at Rock Band because of this), if they need money or food we try to help as well. My wife and I have no children right now, but all of the girls on our team are like our daughters and are treated as such. Sometimes it is hard to deal with them, but it is like a big family, we may have disagreements or arguments, but at the end of the day they all know how I feel about them!

It's true they all love him. and we can all see he treats them all with such respect and love. Phelps and the community is so lucky to have someone like JR around. He is a great person and if some day was to come that he left Hornetville whoever got him would not only get a great coach but a great man and a great mentor for whatever team he went to.
