So, my team didn't win the Dodgeball tournament. It was an interesting experience, though. It's interesting to see how competitive people can get about a silly game. I did, on the other hand make it onto the faculty all-star team wich competed against the student all-star team. It wasn't even close. We put 'em down quick!
Now, with dodgeball over, I can concentrate on the upcoming basketball season. For those who don't know, I coach high school girls basketball. I am not the head coach and not the JV coach either. I was hired to be the head coach and things haven't gone quite as expected, to put it in a nice way. Anyway, I'm still on the court coaching, yelling, running, pushing, encouraging and generally doing everything I can to get every ounce of potential out of each player. At the end of practice, I'm usually as exhausted as the players. I didn't know it until Irene made a comment to someone else that I am a lot more upbeat right now and happier, in general. The fact is, I am! It's not that my life sucks the rest of the time but I think it's simply the fact that I get to do what I love to do on a regular basis right now. Irene tries to keep my head in check but it's hard, when you end a practice and see the drastic improvement, not to feel pretty good about the way you do things.
Well, gotta change for practice!
