A thank you letter to my "Parent Athletes"

1. Thank you for drives to practice.

Getting up at 6AM to drive me to morning practice was never fun, either was picking me up at 10PM from late practice, but you did it anyway with a smile on your face.

2. Thank you for being my #1 fan.

Thank you for coming to all of my games, whether it was driving away 5 hours just to watch me sit on the bench, or playing the whole game I knew you were there to cheer me on.

3. Thank you for remembering you are my parent, not my coach.

Thank you for not coaching me on the sidelines or after games and leaving that to the coaches, but thank you for giving me that constant support and positivity I need.

4. Thank you for all that extra spare change

Funny, but true. Even through those elementary canteen hotdog days during tournaments and even now, you never fail to have loonies and toonies in your pocket.

5. Thank you for being my nurse.

All of those concussions, broken bones, sprained ankles, and so much more. Thank you for taking care of me you were the best nurse out of them all.

6. Thank you for supporting me always

Thank you for your constant support on and off the court and for always pushing me to do my best. I truly couldn't do it without you.

Love, Your Student Athlete.
