Holmdel Parent Supports “Coach Mike”
From the April edition of the Holmdel Journal:
I was very pleased when I learned that Mike Sockol announced his intention to run for the Holmdel school board. Mike happens to be my son Joe’s HYAA basketball coach, and from the onset, I have been impressed at how he takes the time and effort to give every member of the squad his personal attention. Mike gets it. He understands that these games are for fun, and more importantly, that athletics can be a great way to teach a few life lessons along the way.
I wish I could share with you the excitement that Joe expresses after every game. That’s because he feels like he’s part of a team, and that every contribution he makes is a valuable one.Mike is very fair and has a knack of making everyone feel like a winner, even when they lose.
Mike obviously cares very much about kids, and that’s exactly the quality we need in the men and women who oversee our district. I trust Mike has the right instincts and the right intentions to represent our best interests on the school board. I hope you will join me in supporting Mike on April 20.
