Dear David:

Coach Greg Olson is great example. He lets his players on the East Park Orioles Little League Baseball team evolve. He inspires his players who are in the XV II XVII (15 to 17) age range to excel. Having confidence in themseves by an adult mentor makes kids like Peter Quenneville & Taylor Thomas feel that they could be coaches/leaders one day themselves. This is definitely a coach that these Little League players should look up to as an athletic educational example of pride, strength, & dignity.

Batter Up,

Rory
