Thank you, Coach Bart!

Thank you, Coach Bart!

As a student at Nanticoke, I have come in contact with many people who were willing to go out of their way to offer help and guidance in many areas of my life. However, out of all my years at Greater Nanticoke Area, there has been one person who has helped me more than any other. This person is Mr. Ken Bartuska, who was my former basketball coach and current Athletic Director. He has always been there for me and has always tried to help me out as much as possible. Whatever sport that I play, he is usually there to cheer on the team. He always gives me little tips as well as confident words of encouragement.

Ken Bartuska, more commonly known as Coach Bart, has helped me in more ways than one. He has helped me become stronger and has contributed to the improvement of my basketball skills. During the summer, when I went to the gym early in the morning to workout and shoot around, he welcomed me in the gym anytime he was around and allowed me to use the shooting machine as well as the rest of the equipment. Since he was a former coach at Nanticoke for many years, he had many good drills to teach me so I could improve my game. After working out on the court, he would open up the field house so I could lift weights.

Coach Bart is both helpful and inspirational. He has helped me by encouraging me to do better and to improve in any way possible. He has helped me to become a better person. Coach Bart will be the one person that I will remember when I am in college and later an adult. In the future, I hope to be as helpful to someone as he has been to me.
