Larry Cuculic

by Justin from Puyallup

My hero is my basketball coach Larry Cuculic. He has had one of the biggest influences on my life.

My coach was a very good basketball player when he was in college. He played for his college and even started. Out of nowhere he injured himself and couldn't play anymore. So now he coaches one of the best teams in Washington.

I look up to my coach because he is the fairest person I've ever met. When we play basketball he doesn't favor anyone inparticular, he just lets us play.

Larry is special because he was the one who gave me a chance to show him my skills. When I thought I was doing worse than everyone on my team, he would put me in and tell me "Go get em Justin". He always had faith

In conclusion I would say that my coach is very fair and caring. He always believed in us and I will never forget him.
