“I don’t think I would be the complete person I am today without my time spent being coached by Mr. Robinson. He not only pushed myself but all the kids on my team to be better versions of themselves as a person, student and athlete when I was coached by him in 7th and 8th grade. Outside of coaching and into my high school sports he would host open gyms to all players and interested youth who wanted to play ball, strength friendships, test their skills or even grow at their own pace.He made sure the environment was a welcoming place for all and could express themselves openly but would not tolerate negative behavior, comments or actions to one another as players or to any adults. Teaching how to show respect to ourselves, each other along with our elders. He also showed us it’s okay to be frustrated or angry at times but it’s what we do to show compassion, forgiveness and understanding to one another that brings people together.His impact as a coach held strong to me, that lots of values and lessons I learned carried over to the messaging I gave to my own team of players when I was a head baseball coach. When working with Mr. Robinson, you will get noting but his best. He is very enthusiastic and energetic about what he does while showing true passion for his work.”
