Here are the finished posters that I was commissioned to do for the Northern York Varsity Baseball Booster Club. These were handed out to the graduating seniors for them to present to their parents during a team get-together prior to a game this past week. Hope they all enjoyed them!
What’s really funny about these posters is that I later found out that I went to high school with Ryan Steele’s dad (Bob) and played Twilight ball with Jake Warner’s dad, Craig.
These posters were the first ones ordered from our new Premium Poster designs. Each poster is 20″ x 30″ and mounted to double-thickness art board. Contact PhotoFX Pros to find out how we might be able to customize a keepsake poster for you or your organization.
By the way, congratulations to the Polar Bears for winning and advancing to the playoffs.
I recently had the pleasure of meeting and working alongside of Chipi San, winner of the first PhotoFX Pros photo contest. For having her image selected Chipi we lent her our expertise and equipment for one hour to cover an event of her choice. We ended up covering a large volleyball tournament for children who are home-schooled.
Stay tuned for more about the event, including some of the images taken by our contest winner.
Neil Sunday at work and play.
I have a special appreciation for all the men and women that volunteer their time to guide our children through the ins and outs of the various sports they play. As a former coach myself, I know what a difficult job it can be. First and foremost, you need to have a pretty good grasp on all aspects of your sport and be able to teach it in a way that can be understood by children and young adults. However teaching the fundamentals of a sport is really just a small part of the job. As a coach you also have to be a psychologist, a statistician, a politician, a resource manager, and motivational speaker just to name a few. More importantly though, a coach has to be a positive role model and a mentor.
Once an a while I have the pleasure of meeting someone that just seems to encompass anything and everything that we, as parents, would ever want for our children in a coach. In my opinion Neal Sunday is that kind of person. He’s my “kind of person.” Although my children are not snowboarders and have no specific contact with this Neil, I do know him and have had the pleasure of watching him interact with the kids in his program for several years.

Neal is coach with the Ski Roundtop Racing Club Snowboard Team, a 2007 Master’s National Champion, and Level 3 Certified Coach. So yep, Neil’s got some cred. However, beyond the titles, the trophies, medals, and accolades, Neil is just simply an uncomplicated, humble, and awesome individual. Every time I see him he’s got a smile on his face and an attitude to match. I can speak from personal experience that while he’s on “the hill” Neil’s always there to lend a hand to anyone who needs it. And for me a true measure of his success is in being able to impart those same qualities along to all the kids under his guidance.
So if you’re lucky enough to know Neil Sunday tell him “thanks” next time you see him. If you don’t know Neil then why not just send you favorite coach an email thanking them for everything they do for your child? I’m sure they would appreciate the gesture.
