Coach/Dude Richard Jones
Name: Richard Jones
Team: Blue Thunder at the Siskey YMCA soccer and Spider Monkeys in Siskey YMCA flag football.
How long coaching? A decade or so.
Why become a coach? No one else would step up! Now I don't want to stop.
What advice do you give to kids before, during and after the game? Always listen to coach, have fun and give it their best. During the game, I honestly can't shut my flapping gums.
What advice do you have for parents? Cheer for every single player on the field and never, I mean never, say anything negative to your child or another child about his or her play.
Favorite sports moment? One little dude wasn't getting soccer and finally he had a breakthrough. He dribbled, he scored, he played defense. After the game the little dude, his father and I all had a group screamandshout. That was fun.
