Mr. Esson grew up as a youth played at North Glade Park and Coach James was Mr. Esson coach as a youth. Mr. Esson and Coach James know the need for sport programs in the inner city parks. It keeps the youth out of trouble and make them part of something good in the neighborhood. Mr. Esson says one of his mentors and friend is Mr. James Thomas. Coach James knows how to deal with all kind of youth and adults. Coach James saved Mr. Esson from getting involved in neighborhood crimes and gangs. Coach James is Mr. Esson Hero. Mr. Esson say it does not matter how good or bad a parent is, Mr. Esson strongly believe that every  youth need good coaches and mentors in their lives besides their own parents. Most of the time youth open up to others then their own parents. Mr. Esson believes when a youth commits a crime, it is not because that youth is a criminal. It is because that youth is misguided and he/she thinks is a way of fun. Most youth do not know the real consequence of getting into trouble by the Law. That is why is so important to have all public and private parks with daily activities and sport programs with positive role models. This will keep most youth busy in something good and lower the rate of juvenile delinquency.
