Varsity soccer coach receives sentimental gift of players’ voices for 65th birthday
When Philip Gray, a varsity soccer coach, said goodbye to his seniors at his teams end of year award ceremony, it also happened to be his 65th birthday. On that meaningful day, he received a special 65th birthday present that was far more meaningful than any soccer plaque his players or fellow coaches could ever give him. He received a keepsake CD filled with the voices of his colleagues, his graduating players, and their parents, expressing their thanks and warm wishes. The recordings ranged from funny to sentimental, and demonstrated to him what he had meant to the Fighting Tigers.
“I go out there and urge my players to give it their all every day. I’ve always focused on the team, and when they gave me this gift I saw how much my coaching meant to them personally”.
The players and their parents wanted to give the coach a special present that was very personal. However, with frantic schedules, the players and their parents knew that the group gift would have to be easy for everyone to contribute to.
The present the coach received is called LifeOnRecord.
Team mom, Stacy Gorski, got the idea when her husband gave her a LifeOnRecord CD as a special birthday gift.
The process is simple: family and friends call a toll-free number and are directed to record a favorite memory, story or wish. Theres no limit on the number of callers that can phone-in or on the total number of recordings you receive. You can download the recordings for free to your computer using iTunes so that you can make your own compact disc, or LifeOnRecord can create a keepsake CD with a personalized label and metal case. An unlimited plan with free download capability into iTunes costs $49.99, or an unlimited plan with a keepsake CD costs $74.98.
It is a unique, affordable service that allows you to create a highly personal gift with ease.
“The players and their families that gave me this gift mean a lot to me, and this is the perfect way for me to remember them and their impact after my coaching days are over. The mom who organized and put this together is my hero”.
If you’d like to be a hero to your loved one, you can purchase LifeOnRecord and give them a creative birthday keepsake.
