Anyone who has played youth sports, coached youth sports, and/or has kids in youth sports should watch this great post game speech from Cumberland, RI Little League Coach Dave Belisle. His team was eliminated on Monday night from the LLWS. Quin and I had the pleasure of sitting directly behind the Rhode Island team's family section at a game on Saturday. Watching Dave give this speech on Monday nearly brought me to tears.
Here is a link to the post game speech.

It's great to know that parents like this are coaching and mentoring our kids; especially on a night when somehow the lead story on ESPN is "(Player who does not deserve to be named in the same post as Dave Belisle), flips bird to Redskin's bench" in meaningless NFL preseason game.
Here is coverage that the speech received on the ABC nightly news.
