PLAYER OF THE WEEK
CONGRATULATIONS COOPER PILCH (13U) - Cooper plays on the 13u - Smiths team. He has played for Impact since 9u but has been playing baseball since T-ball. Cooper plays outfield & is a pitcher. When Cooper’s not playing baseball you can find him playing basketball, flag football, or video games. He loves his family, but his favorite is the family dog “Beau.”
"There are very few kids who show their passion for the game like Coop does. His desire to excel and perform to the best of his abilities is something that everyone can see. He also cares a great deal about the young men he does it all alongside with, and is often the first to pick someone up when they’re down, or cheer someone on when they do something awesome! There have been multiple times when he’s been on the mound, and had a pitch or two get away from him, and his frustration gets the better of him, and one look at one of his coaches and he knows to get off his high horse and lock in… Its one of my favorite things to watch, because you can always see that moment for him of “ok, its time to go” and he’ll spend the next 3 innings straight carving." - Coach Josh
"Coop! Kid with all the baseball drip! Love when he says he’s ready to go and I see it in his focus and prep. Kind of teammate you want that’s got your back. He’s always positive, giving encouragement and cheering on all his buddies. He’s a friend to all and loves his baseball brothers. Super proud of his hard work and how far he has come in just my couple seasons with the team. Hard work has and will continue to pay dividends for those fronting the work and Coop is that kid." - Coach Nick
