Dear Coach,
You have a profound affect on my life. I like how you encourage me to play basketball. I know I can come to you if I have a problem. You help me understand and help out with my basketball as well as my school work, let's just put it this way, you are just all around a good person and coach.

You became important to me when I started playing with you, and also when I joined the club team. I really appreciated you when you told us that you would coach us till we get into college. Right there that was my highlight of my life. You are willing to go another four years with me and my basketball buddies. I enjoyed when you said it wouldn't hurt to pay a visit when we play basketball in high school and college.

I like how I can always contact you anytime I want. All I would have to do is go down to the gym and there you are. You always push me to get in shape and stick with basketball. I like that! Being involved with basketball with you and the 24 hours basketball thing is going to be so much fun. I get to spend more dedicated time with you. Thank you so much Mike, Coach, for teaching, caring about me and my basketball life. Your encouragement helps me fulfill my dreams in basketball.

Sincerely,
Ashlee
