. My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but taught me
40
to believe in myself. He
41
me the difference between having a dream and realizing the dream. One particular
42
with Coach Jarvis changed my life forever.
It was the summer between my junior and senior years, and a friend recommended (推荐) me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket—money for a new bike and new clothes, and the
43
of savings for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to
44
summer baseball to deal with the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing.
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as
45
as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t
46
to waste them.” I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the
47
that would explain
48
him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his
49
in me.
“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he asked. “Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied.
