Discouraged Player

I saw an impressive thing today: a player who is discouraged and doesn't want to come back, parents who are concerned reach out to the coach.  Coach shows up the next day and talks with player.  Player is nervous about the discussion, but coach makes him feel comfortable.

It seems simple.  But it's more than the game, it's about ministry, helping a boy to grow to be a man.  That conversation on the back porch may have significant pay back in the future.  Fruit we may never see.
