As Les mentions above, our Static Org would not even close to where we are at today if Howard had not taken us under his wing to share his vast knowledge of hitting & the entire game of softball. Just as important, he has made us much better coaches through the understanding of how females differ & work vs males - I believe this fact is well understated & is at the foundational crux to be able to be an effective coach of girls.
Personally, I cannot thank Howard enough for what he has done for my daughter Kherrin & the rest of my Static '97 team; it has all culminated this week w/ the girls signing to play at the next level. Because of Howard, these girls has accumulated over $1,000,000 in combined athletic & academic scholarships. Therefore, Howard has not only has been instrumental in growing them over the last 7 yrs, but also has affected their future through adulthood as they will come out of college with great degrees & very minimal college debt.
From the bottom of my heart & soul Howard, thank you for all that you have done - I could never be able to pay you back no matter how hard I try.
