I've coached chess at Sakai Frangipani Swimming Club since 2010. Most of my players were between 8 and 13, and a lot of them turned into friends for life. Winning was never the point, though I won't pretend I didn't enjoy it. I play music while people worked. It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.
