My ears are always open, no matter where I am. Maybe I'm nosey, maybe, but I am always listening. A coach's eyes and ears should always be open. There is always something to learn and if you are not receptive, you might miss something big.
During that mass in Brockville, the lay reader had my attention from the first line of the second reading, a Letter From St Paul to the Corinthians (Corinthians 12:12-12:31).

We have so many players on a soccer team, it's difficult , yet important, to give everybody on the team a sense of belonging and self worth.
