Looking back at my time with Women's Soccer in Storrs, I only did one thing that was of any importance.
I trained Eric to take over for me.
It's the only thing I did that mattered.
For some reason I started thinking about what I most wanted for the program when I first started helping. When I started my job as a manager and Volunteer Director of Ops it was simply to give the program another person to help the coaches, and who did so with the same enthusiasm as those who gave back to the Basketball and Football teams.
Eric will put his own stamp on the job he does, but I am happy that the goal that I had has clearly come true. Eric is great at what he does.
So if you ask me what the most important thing that I did was, I'd say it was training Eric. It wasn't making highlight videos or running after a ball in practice. It wasn't being good at remembering people's gatorade flavors. None of those things were important. It was training someone else that was really important.
