Cleaning up for Company

Oh, to be home again, home again, home again! Under the apple-boughs, down by the mill! - James Thomas Fields
I like having company. I like entertaining people in my home and getting to know them. So it is with great excitement that I announce a guest blogger!
I've asked Charlie Williamson to contribute to the site and he's already responded. We are working on his first post, which you should see this week.
You may recognize the name. Charlie is the Positive Coaching Alliance's Lead trainer for the Chicago area and the person who lead the first PCA seminar I contributed to.
Charlie has a long history as an athlete. Growing up playing baseball, he pitched his college ball at Northwestern. After college he played in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization, rising to the Double A level before a career ending shoulder injury.
Charlie always enjoyed working with kids, so after baseball Charlie went to work at the Bulls/Sox Training Academy in Lisle, IL. He was the marketing director and worked closely with the professional coaches and athletes who conduct the sessions and the kids who attend the sessions. It was at the Bull/Sox Academy where Charlie was exposed to the PCA principles which led to his current role as Lead Trainer.
Charlie obviously has a great deal of knowledge about coaching kids in general and baseball in particular. I'm looking forward to his contributions.
