Coaches sacrifice an enormous amount of time to their sports and players. Their greatest sacrifice is their time away from their wives, husbands, and kids. A recent article in the Knoxville News Sentinal shared with us by Doug Abrams, "You can't coach dedication: Wives learn how to cope with challenging life" by Jesse Smithey, features a number of head football coaches' wives. The story clearly depicts the great dedication that both husband and wife share for each other during and in between seasons.
So what are some words to describe these wives? "Great Multi-taskers," "supportive crutch," or as Brad Taylor so nicely put it, "My wife is Superwoman." Thanks to these women, the football coaches all across Tennessee and the United States are able to make a difference in the lives of young people. Don't forget this fall when your under the friday night lights that behind those coaches sit women who have made great sacrifices for those men to be there.
Wives and husbands of coaches in all sports...thank you for your dedication, sacrifice, and love!
