  Coaches do so much for us when we are young. They teach determination and resilience to our kids and prove to be positive role models for them as well. They deserve our thanks, but why not show it in another form. Give your coach a gift he can use to change more lives. Here are a few ideas of gifts that will score big with your coach.
  
  

Personalized Whistle

• A personalized whistle is a great investment for any coach. You may purchase a whistle at any sporting good store and have it engraved.
  
  

Autographed Jersey

• Have everyone on the team sign one jersey and present it to your coach. An autographed jersey will ensure that your coach will never forget all the lives he has touched.
  
  

Personalized Coffee Mug

• Have the team photo added to any coffee mug. This will give the coach someone to think about when thinking up new plays for his athletes.
