When I had her as a teacher all of the kids in her class ended up calling her mom. She had this way of instilling the desire to learn in her students.

This is going to be fun. There are a lot of great players in this class coming in. Before long, you never know, we may have a national championship team.

Sometimes we have the kids jog in class, and it only takes a minute or two before a lot of them are out of breath and have to walk.

Most kids become the class clown in the fourth or fifth grade. For me, it started when I was 40.

That was very nice. The kids played awfully good tonight. They were energized.

We started building and building. It's like we take a while to warm up, but my kids never gave up.
