Varsity wrestling coach receives thoughtful gift of wrestlers’ voices for 65th birthday
When Robert Martin, a varsity wrestling coach, bid farewell to his seniors at his teams end of year award celebration, it also happened to be his 65th birthday. On that eventful day, he received a unique 65th birthday group present that was far more personal than any wrestling trophy his wrestlers or fellow coaches could ever give him. He received a special CD filled with the voices of his colleagues, his graduating wrestlers, and their parents, expressing their thanks and warm wishes. The recordings ranged from funny to sentimental, and demonstrated to him how much he had meant to his wrestlers.
“I go out there and urge my wrestlers to give 200 percent every day. I’ve always focused on the wrestlers, and when they gave me this gift it demonstrated how much my philosophy meant to them personally”.
The wrestlers and their parents wanted to give the coach a special present that was very personal. But, with hectic schedules, the wrestlers and their parents knew that the group gift would have to be easy for everyone to contribute to.
The present the coach received is called LifeOnRecord.
Team mom, Julie King, got the idea when her husband gave her a LifeOnRecord CD as a unique birthday gift.
The process is simple: family and friends call a toll-free number and are directed to record a favorite memory, story or wish. Theres no limit on the number of callers that can phone-in or on the total number of recordings you receive. You can download the recordings for free to your computer using iTunes so that you can make your own CD, or LifeOnRecord can create a keepsake CD with a personalized label and metal case. An unlimited plan with free download capability into iTunes costs $49.99, or an unlimited plan with a keepsake CD costs $74.98.
It is a unique, affordable service that allows you to create a highly personal gift with ease.
“My wrestlers mean the world to me, and this is the perfect way for me to remember them and their impact after my coaching days are over. The mom who organized and put this together is my hero”.
If you’d like to be a hero to your loved one, you can purchase LifeOnRecord and give them a memorable birthday keepsake.
