Meet our Liberty Rec Coach of the Week - Brandon Alexander!
Coach Brandon is the Head Coach for one of our 6U Flag Football teams. He's been a great addition to our Liberty Rec family. Although a competitor at heart, Coach Brandon ensures every kid plays and truly wants to see them succeed. He teaches the fundamentals on the game and he's tough but you can tell just how much he loves his athletes and cares about them on and off the field.
Read more how he has impacted our community:
"Coach Brandon is an incredible coach. He speaks to every kid by name, asks them about their days, and wants to know how they're doing in school. He encourages great sportsmanship and respect all around, even making sure kids are respecting their parents in his presence, which is huge for the kids to hear the same lessons they hear at home, from their coach. I for one know that my kids really look up to Coach Brandon and he has made them feel like his own. Besides his character, he is great about taking the game and making it make sense to young kids. It's so fun watching it finally click for them. Coach Brandon has created an environment that is not only fun and engaging, but teaches kids that its okay to make a mistake but its not okay to stay there. All of the kids on his team have truly learned valuable lessons from him and shown tremendous growth throughout the season."
Thanks Coach Brandon for all you do!

Now to our Coach of the Week... Who better to win Bolt's Auto Sales Coach of the Week than Bolt himself?! No... it's not rigged... he has just truly made that big of an impact in our community. Coach Bo has been nominated by MULTIPLE parents and even other coaches here at the Liberty Rec. We know he would not want us to pick him for this accomplishment but we truly appreciate his generosity and love for our department, our athletes and our community. Read below on how he has made an impact:
"Coach Bo is a great leader in our community who truly wants to make Liberty better. It would be so easy to go to neighboring cities with bigger facilities and more amenities, but you don't get the pride that is only displayed in this great town. Coach Bo is the example of what change should be in our town and he makes everyone around him better. He encourages his team and studies their skills and knowledge to help them individually meet their goals. With only three returning 8U baseball players, he has converted a learning team into a competitive team. Coach Bo holds them all accountable and coaches them hard with love. We are thankful for the time Bo has invested in our son and in our community!"
And another one:
"Coach Bo pushes his players to be the very best they can be while also encouraging them along the way. He is a strong role model who not only teaches the fundamentals of baseball but also helps instill confidence and character in the kids. His passion for the game shows in how he motivates, guides, and supports each player. Most importantly, he makes the sport fun and teaches the kids to truly love baseball."
These are just two of the testimonies sent in but you can see why we picked him! Thank you Coach Bo for all that you do! Your contributions to our community do not go unnoticed!

It's time for our Athlete of the Week!
Our Male Athlete of the Week is Wilder Chamberlain! Wilder was nominated by Coach Edwards, one of our 3, 6U Flag Football coaches. Coach Edwards says "Wilder is a great athlete who can make a stop every play on defense or score every time he touches the ball on offense. Most importantly, Wilder is a team player. Our team ensures every athlete plays. Wilder enables that development by playing his hardest on defense to keep opposing offenses out of the endzone or by running every route on offense as if he had the ball to give others the opportunity to grow. He is truly selfless and is a pleasure to coach. He makes our whole team better, which helps us make Liberty better!" Coach Edwards says that Wilder told him "I just want everyone to get better and just win!"
What a selfless 6 year old. I am starting a petition for his mom to release his mic'd up videos... who is with me?!

-Brian Patterson, for orchestrating the food vendors and concessions
-Thank you to our food vendors, as well as, Darla's Little Bit of Everything, for showing up with some great Liberty gear
-Our LPD for keeping everyone safe
-Blair Bearden with Magnolia Needle Co. for creating and donating the beautiful archway and the countless hours working on ceremony details
-Our gate workers, concessions workers and chain crew
