00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 4: for fifty years. So yeah, that's pretty amazing.

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 3: Do you feel like because you've been married to him

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 3: for fifty years and he's been coaching for fifty years,

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 3: you're kind of a coach as well at this point.

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 4: Kind of been supporting all the years. And this year

18
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 4: I finally got involved too because he lost one of

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 4: his coaches, so I said, oh, okay, I have some

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 4: extra time.

21
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, So what is he coached specifically with

22
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 3: Special Olympics.

23
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 4: We just finished softball. That's a summer sport, and then

24
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 4: in January basketball begins, and then Botchy ball and track

25
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: and field. And since he's been coaching so long, he's

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 4: seen some of the people go from being twenty to

27
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 4: being way over seventy.

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 3: That's such a crazy thought to know that he has

29
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: coached people from twenty years old to seventy, like, meaning

30
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 3: they were twenty when they started and now they're seventy.

31
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: I never thought about that.

32
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: Yeah. Actually, my youngest athlete on the softball team was fourteen,

33
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 4: and then I also had Keith who's seventy seven.

34
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

35
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, age really doesn't matter. And funny when we talk

36
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 4: about them, we talk about the kids and some of

37
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 4: the kids are seventy seven.

38
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: Wow.

39
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's pretty amazing.

40
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: I think it's really special for anybody to be a

41
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: volunteer coach in general, but to be a volunteer coach

42
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: for the specially just it's very very special.

43
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:02,480

44
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,800

45
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 4: outlook and what's really important.
