1) What do you think the team got out of becoming involved with Jaimie and her family in the 2012 season?
I believe the organization helped in many ways. We definitely played better whenever Jaimie and her family were around. And you could also see a change in team spirit. Seeing Jaimie changed our whole perception on what really matters in life. The act of giving. It was a sisterhood and bond that was shared between the girls and Jaimie. And as much as we gave her, she gave us even more in return. A sense of humility and reality.
2) Why did you think MWS would be a good fit for this organization?
We are a team sport that promotes a family environment to breed success. We do not place any one individual on a pedestal. Everyone is a valued member within the program and I believe this type of philosophy can help an organization like FoJ to promote the right type of relationship between a team and a child.
3) What do you see the future in the future for MCWS and the Ferrettis?
Now that we have made Jaimie an honorary MCWS team member, I would like to believe she will be allowed to make multiple appearances (pending the approval of her parents chafeur schedule) every semester so that the team and Jaimie can make this relationship what FoJ has always represented – a better quality of life. And with every new class of MWS student-athletes coming through the program, we look to continue building Jaimie’s sisterhood for the rest of her life.
Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI liked reading the this post from a different perspective. As you've said, we have heard from your team, Jamie and yourself about this experience. Your questions were very specific and directed which helped highlight what was important about adopting Jamie. The picture at the end is great because it shows your team, in their uniforms and I'm assuming the woman in the red is your coach? Good job covering different aspects of this experience with your readers.

It’s always a pleasure reading your log Amanda. Your entire blog is very heartwarming. I really liked how you shifted into an interview this week. It is awesome to hear about how the experience has affected the team, and how the team actually performs better when Jaclyn is around. Overall the content is solid. My only suggestion is that maybe we could get a better picture of coach Lyn, in addition to the one provided. Other than that, this was a solid post to a great blog!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture with Jamie, the coach, and your team! It's perfect for this post. This post was a very cool idea to interview your coach. It's interesting to see a different perspective and how Jamie has touched the lives of other members of the team as well. It continues to amaze me how much you guys support and care for her.
