Volunteer Spotlight
Where do you live? Apex, NC
How long have you been Miracle League coaches? 10 1/2 years (you’ll never get rid of me!)
What is your role as a volunteer? Currently coaching the amazing Mets on Friday nights in Cary. I previously coached the equally amazing Indians on Saturdays.
What do you like to do when you are not volunteering with the League? My favorite activity is spending time with my fantastic children Molly (15) and Jack (12). They’ve both become regular Miracle League buddies and enjoy it a ton. I also coach Jack’s baseball team in Apex. Beyond that, I play a lot of really bad golf and slightly above average tennis.
What is your favorite part of a Miracle League game? Why? The entire game experience is awesome so I can’t point to just one part. My favorite moments are when I get one-on-one interaction time with players to learn more about them and start to develop a meaningful relationship. And of course, I love the breakthrough moments such as when a player is verbal with me for the first time, gets their first hit, their first over the fence home run, or walks/runs the bases for the first time. Any breakthrough moment like this at a Miracle League game–no matter how big or small–inspires me more than virtually anything else in my life. I’m constantly blown away by how amazing these players are.
