It's no wonder Diane Andrews likes coaching both of her children’s soccer teams. It involves two of her favorite things: children and the challenge of reaching goals. “Coaching’s fun, it’s organized chaos,” the 37-year-old Mount Pleasant woman said. “You have to yell loud, tell kids to turn around, that they’re going the wrong way, and make sure kids have snacks. And you have to learn how to tie shoes quickly.” Andrews brings the same enthusiasm to her job as a speech pathologist and her role as a board member with the Down Syndrome Association of the Lowcountry (DSAL). Friends and colleagues say it can be difficult telling which is the job and which is the labor of love. Read more about this Jefferson Award nominee in tomorrow's editions of The Post and Courier. |
