Dear JSC members:
 
It is our pleasure to announce the Coaches of Character for the Fall 2007 season. We were thrilled to receive nearly 40 nominations from coaches, parents, players and friends. We want to thank everyone who took time to submit a nomination and believe this reflects the high quality membership that defines the Johnston Soccer Club.

It is our pleasure to name the following Coaches of Character!
 

Robert “Bud” Peddicord – U8 -  “Coach Bud displays a fantastic representation of the six pillars of character in his ability to communicate with the kids. He knows how to engage the team and keep things positive and fun… His concern with the players does not end at the field. He has made numerous calls to check on our son to make sure he is OK and to check on his health after some injuries.”

“He shows genuine concern for his players. Taking time to make sure they understand what is going on in practice and making sure to explain things in ways that the kids could demonstrate. Each player is able to experience the game and find ways that they can contribute to the overall success of the team… I can’t think of a better role model for our kids.”

“He treats all players with respect, despite their wide differences in ability, concentration and temperament. … He stresses the importance of being a team player but also being a “good sport” as it relates to both successes and failure… He models great sportsmanship himself.”

Bill Jensen – U16 -  “Constructive criticism, yes, but presented in a positive manner. Under his leadership, this team has really come together. He does care about each player and how they feel about their game. Bill exemplifies the Six Pillars of Character.”

“Bill makes practices a learning experience while being fun. Our team has always been fair and shows a great deal of sportsmanship. I’m very proud.”

“I see Bill as someone who gets to know his players their abilities and how versatile they are. They know Bill puts trust in them to handle their positions… This team demonstrates respect and care of the other team and their players. They represent JSC well thanks to Bill.”
