This letter is to inform you that I am resigning from my position as the head girl’s basketball coach. I enjoyed my time while at Emerson and feel grateful for the knowledge and friendships that I have gained. Four years ago you took a chance and hired me to be part of your staff, I came into the high school as an enthusiastic young coach and it was a dream come true for me. That dream came true thanks to you! I’ve wanted to be a coach since my last high school game when I was 17 years old. I have spent almost every waking moment since spring 2008, when you hired me, doing everything I can to make the school proud of our program. I have tried my best to have an impact on the young women who came through the doors every day and put in the work to be a part of our program.
I am resigning from my current position as head coach from Emerson High School because I do not think I can pursue my position here to my fullest potential. I think the limitations and external factors have been too big of a distraction to continue a successful program. I do not think it is fair to anyone if I stayed just to be a “stipend” coach. I could never just show up and perform a task with out putting duties in that go above and beyond the job description. I have been offered and accepted a position at St. Thomas Aquinas College where I will pursue my qualifications and anticipate growing the game.
I will miss working with you very much as you have provided me with many opportunities to both learn and contribute. The appreciation that I have for CAVO NATION is immeasurable. I have been blessed to work with the finest administration and student body. Your mentoring and support have been invaluable to my progress. I will also miss many of my coworkers and take many positive memories with me to my new position.
I offer best wishes for a positive future. Please call on me if there is anything I can do to help ease the transition for the new coach. Again, I am excited about my new opportunity, but sad to leave. You are a wonderful subordinate and I will always be grateful.
Sincerely,
Jenny Jurjevic
Head Girls Basketball Coach
2008 - 2012
