From Coach to Captain

When Taylor and I first met, it was actually out on the softball field, preparing to play a game for our Skills PE class at Utah State University. We were both enrolled in the Kinesiology (The study of body movement) degree with an emphasis in teaching. It was Taylors first semester ever in collage, since leaving the military and it was my millionth semester.  We both desired to be teachers, but Taylors drive to teaching was to be a football coach. And not just any football coach, he wanted to be Coach Taylor - Just like the Coach Taylor in "Friday Night Lights". Taylor expressed to me that it was through that movie that he saw his future of being a high school football coach. I also desired to be a coach, but instead of coaching boys to throw balls, I wanted to teach girls and boys how to throw girls (Cheerleading).
However... It wasn't long into the program of Kinesiology and teaching that Taylor realized he wasn't so into the whole idea of teaching as he was with the idea of being a football coach... With that thought, and a bit of talking, Taylor changed his degree from Kinesiology to Aviation. Although Taylor still dreams of being a coach, he sees most of his future, sky high. Within the next semester, Taylor went from a future as Coach to Captain.
Because of the immense impact she had on mine and Taylors life, I would like to highlight Dr. Hilda Fronske, mine and Taylors Skill's PE professor. It was in her class where we fell in love with moving our bodies, teaching others to love it too, and where Taylor and I fell in love. She has had an impact on me like no other professor has at Utah State University because she teaches with experience, love, heart, and a desire to make a positive change in the world, especially the teaching world. Dr. Fronske, we love you and are eternally grateful for you. God Bless you!
