Dear Logan Stout and Dallas Patriots Staff,

I am just writing to say thank you and let you know that we feel blessed that Alex is a Dallas Patriot. First of all, thank you for finding Coach Stewart.  We had our first two games last night and he is an amazing instructional and inspirational coach. He is so patient with these 8 & 9 year olds but firm. The momentum that he built in two games was awe-inspiring. I seriously cannot imagine a more perfect coach. THANK YOU!

We have been huge fans of your camps as they have been consistently phenomenal and Alex has shown progress after each one. Brent McFadden is a top-notch private coach. He really pushes Alex but exhibits a ton of patience as our son requires A LOT of repetition. Alex has a long path ahead but we trust Brent will continue to help him develop. The Patriots organizational practice was unbelievable. You guys had those kids working like clock-work and it was unreal how much training they got.  We have never seen anything like it.

I realize that you don’t know me but I am Vice President of Litigation for a large corporation who is not known for handing out compliments but well known for being impossible to impress. But I am in awe of the DP organization. You don’t just focus on the superstars. My boy is not the most talented 9 year old in your organization and yet he gets professional level training and dedication to his development. We just want sports to be in his life with a good dose of discipline to learn work ethic. He is getting so much more.

I am out of words of appreciation and there is nothing left to say but a sincere thank you.

 We had heard great things about the Patriots organization, and felt that Collin had some un-tapped potential, that simply needed some good coaching.  Our move to the Dallas Patriots has proven to be one of the best decisions we could have made.    The consistency and coaching that Collin is receiving from Mitch is outstanding, and is allowing him to truly play to his potential. 

 As someone who manages people, it seems that we often only hear about the people that work for us when people are complaining, as opposed to when things are positive.  So I wanted to be sure that you got one of the positive emails. 

 Thanks for putting together such a fantastic organization, and bringing on Mitch.  He is a true asset to the DP organization.

 My boys have attended many baseball camps, the instruction Jared and Ryan received from these camps has been unmeasurable. 1. they never “stood around” 2. they were placed in very small groups with players of similar talent and age. Most of… all 3. they received instruction and advice from college coaches and scouts that will improve and change how they will forever play baseball. Something, I do not think you could EVER put a price on. Since we started playing for the 12 u Patriots in the Fall, Jared’s skill level, confidence and swing from this summer to now has improved so much, some people do not recognize him! So, many thanks to you and Coach Vilade for providing such a supportive environment for these young athletes to develop not just into great baseball players but as you say; “great Men, leaders, friends and someday Dad’s and husband’s.” Looking forward to an Amazing 2011!!

Im the father of Caleb Hemphill and I just wanted to take the time to write a little note. Caleb is playing on the DP 18u etx. I just wanted to let you know that Im extremely impressed with the way that you represent the program. We have played alot of baseball in Caleb’s life and we love the game, it has always been a dog eat dog world out there as Im sure you know. However you have been so far an exception to the rule. I also believe that you dont have to win ball games to be a winner. We have always tried to teach Caleb that ” Attitude is everything” and it is very important to “set yourself apart and not above”. Im all about the kids my self and this is the first time,other than my self ,that someone has proclaimed GOD as an important aspect in basball. I my self after yesterday afternoon was feeling that I want to be a part of this program my self as a parent. Hoping that Caleb will work hard and be smart , so that I can be a part of the program my self. I have always wanted Caleb to be involved with a good organization that made the kids good people as well as good athlete”s. I to look at the Big Picture and oppurtunities, and hope that his involvement with your program will lead him to great oppurtunities as an adult and if we get to play baseball along the way that is the bonus. If I may ever be a help to a kid or to you, please let me know. Looking forward to the summer and watching some basball.
