Coach Cooper (little car with a big heart)
Hi I’m Coach Cooper and I am in the process of putting together a series of stories for children.
As a mini-cooper, I know about being different. Those big trucks always make me feel insignificant and out of place.
Not to worry I’ll stay off the roads and go to the baseball diamond where I can have fun with my friends.
I got involved with a baseball league called the Miracle League. This baseball league was formed so that kids with disabilities could enjoy my favorite sport — Baseball! We even have a special field set up for the league.
You know what? Even though I am different from most of the coaches, they asked me to be third base coach. 
I’m hoping that kids will really enjoy our stories. If you are on twitter you can follow me @coach_cooper. My friend Robert will also have things about me too. Robert knows about beating the odds. As a man with cerebral palsy, he has faced some incredible odds. So one of the incredible things he is doing is co-writing these books for kids. Wow — what a guy.
Coach Cooper is a red Mini- Cooper. He has a vision. That vision is to go out into communities and encourage children with disabilities. There are many ways that he wants to do that. He will in 2010 (hopefully) have a series of books written about him and his friends (many who have disabilities). He also wants to create a platform to encourage parents of children with disabilities. This blog site is just one place where you can meet Coach and his best friend Robert.
If you are a parent of a child who has disabilities, Coach and Robert would love your input. What can they blog about that will be helpful to you and your child. If you have a disability and want to give Coach input – he would love it.
