I was an athlete in an abusive home. There were a number of coaches who watched out for me and protected me as much as possible. Once one literally pulled me away from my father who was screaming at me and coming at me. He pulled me in the school, hid me in a room with no windows and wouldn't let me out until they calmed my father down. There were a lot of times those coaches stepped in and if nothing else they helped my self esteem a lot. I think without them my life would have been vastly different (yet still landing on disability).

Is pineapple a good topping for pizza?
