As the letters reflect, coaching for David is about more than teaching a 12-year-old to turn a double play. “He wants the kids to develop their athletic . . . skills and [for them] to be as successful . . . as possible, but he clearly believes that there are things more important than winning games.” Letter of Charles Austerberry; see also letter of Theresa Parse (“Dave understands how sports can teach children valuable life lessons”). David relates to each child individually and gives each a chance to play. When a boy with severe disabilities was on the basketball team, David “made sure every other boy . . . went out of [his] way to . . . help him make a basket before the end of the season.” Id. As one observer notes, David’s “measured, personal approach contrasts markedly with the loud cacophony typically employed by [those] . . . who attempt to coach [children’s] sports teams.” Letter of Charles Austerberry.⁴
What may best reflect David’s character is his commitment to his friends. In their letters to the Court, many of them recount stories of David’s support in their times of need. See e.g., letter of Bridget Rodgers (when I was pregnant and “told I had an infection that would cause
⁴ One parent whose child is a gifted athlete writes this about David:
The thing that has endeared me most to Dave is the way he coaches the boys in basketball. Over the years, he has coached . . . my son [redacted] . . . [Dave] is always calm, guiding, teaching and encouraging the boys in a way that is so helpful. Dave has gone out of his way to tell my wife Kimberly and me how special [redacted] is as an athlete and he encourages us to continue his development. The vast majority of coaches in our community are screamers and not teachers and are singularly focused on their [own] kids. Dave is different. I sincerely appreciate the many hours Dave has spent with my son.
