Seidl has demeanor of a leader

To the editor:

We’ve had the pleasure to meet Jason Seidl when our sons joined the local hockey and baseball teams that were coached by him and others. We, the Richs, were new to the Brown County area and the Essers are long-time residents of the community. Neither of our families had known Jason before this as he wasn’t in our circle of friends.

We never know what to expect when we meet a new coach but we were immediately impressed by Jason’s approachability and genuine interest in bettering our children not only as athletes, but as people. Jason constantly emphasizes the importance of the team over the individual player and demands players represent the team in their behavior and actions. He treats all players fairly by having the same expectations of everyone and the star players and family friends don’t receive special treatment. Everyone is an equal and contributes to the success or failure of the team. Additionally, he does a great job of giving feedback in a constructive manner to the children when they make mistakes but also gives praise when players perform well. Most importantly, Jason possesses a high level of positivity that makes the team fun!

The traits that Jason exhibits as a coach with the children and parents mirror the sentiments and accolades that have recently been expressed during this campaign by countless Brown County law enforcement professionals. He is exactly who he presents himself to be, a man of integrity, who takes the high road as he is representing himself and the Brown County Sheriff’s Department as Chief Deputy.
