Subject: Retirement Announcement
Dear [Athletic Director’s Name],
I hope this message finds you well. It is with a heavy heart that I write to formally announce my retirement as the head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats, effective immediately.
This decision has not come easily. Over the years, I have had the honor of leading a talented group of student-athletes and working alongside an incredible coaching staff. Together, we have celebrated remarkable victories and faced challenges that have shaped us into the resilient team we are today. I am proud of what we have accomplished and the legacy we leave behind at this storied institution.
However, after much reflection, I have come to realize that it is time for me to step aside and allow new leadership to take the reins. I believe this decision is in the best interest of both the program and my family. The demands of coaching at this level are significant, and I want to prioritize my health and spend more quality time with my loved ones.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the players who have dedicated themselves to the program and the fans who have passionately supported us. Your unwavering enthusiasm and commitment to the Wildcats have made this experience unforgettable. I am especially thankful to the administration and the university community for their support throughout my tenure. Your belief in our vision helped us to achieve so much, and I will always cherish the memories we created together.
As I transition into retirement, I remain hopeful for the future of Kentucky basketball. I am confident that the program will continue to thrive under new leadership and that our student-athletes will continue to excel both on and off the court. I look forward to following the Wildcats and cheering them on in the seasons to come.
Thank you once again for the opportunity to lead this incredible program. I will always hold a special place in my heart for Kentucky, and I am excited to see what the future holds for the team.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
Head Coach, Kentucky Wildcats
