Nick Gabardina

He reminded me of a conversation we had back in 1993, after he retired from 37 years as a classroom teacher. I had asked him what he was going to do now that his teaching career was over. He looked me square in the face and said, “Teddy, in the classroom I’ve had students who wanted to learn, who made mistakes, but still kept trying. Well, coaching is still teaching and my classroom is still the field. You know where you can always find me.”
