The coach

Here is Laura’s coach, Mr. Ring.  She just adores the man and his inspirational talks that he has with her.  For a large part of his life he competed in Speed skating and traveled to do such.  He had different strategies that he used to keep on top of his health and his game and those are the things that he passes along to Laura.  He loves the competitor that she has become and never misses an opportunity to spend some time with her.  He went with us to Harvard this past weekend to see her swim in the Bay State games.  He loved to see all the races and got excited to see the closer ones.  He’s a fun guy and gets around better than a lot of people 50 years his junior.    Here, Laura is showing mr Ring her silver medal after her softball game.
