Message: [QUOTE="john1420, post: 2627506, member: 2077"] Huge is spot on. The mentor/father figure relationship is very beneficial to a young man, and especially to one without a father (not sure about Boyd, but that was my position) I was fortunate enough to come under the teaching of a masterful coach and a very wise man in my teens and early twenties. He taught me so much about my sport and even more about life. I treasure that relationship, and I was devastated when he moved interstate. If I could have followed him I would have. Not because I am little puppy dog looking for master, or a baby looking for daddy, but because I had enormous respect for this man and having him play a large part in my life could only make me a better athlete, and a better person. Who in their right mind wouldn't follow such a person? My time with him was incredibly valuable, and far too short. Those that fail to understand this, you have my sympathy [/QUOTE]
