I was nervous and at the same time super excited to do this coaching thing.
I did my homework today to be ready:
It did not disappoint. A bunch of wee kids running around with little gloves and hats and their jerseys. Awesome. I had no clue what I was doing, but I don't think they minded.
Funniest part was Dean's soccer coach, from Li'l Kicks, was there. I wonder if she recognized us, or many of the drills that I stole from her regimen! :)
It was great to do it. I don't know why I hesitated. You couldn't pay me enough to make me stay at work and miss it. Which is why it sucks that I have to miss this Thursday and next for pipeband performances. But those will be the only (I'll even sacrifice being late for other band commitments).
On the way home it was time for the post game ice cream cone and then we were at home. And man I'm tired.
Only to turn my phone on and see that Tom (the other writer on the AiC blog) has decided to step down from the lead position. He's got a new month old son, and is packing up to move the family to a new home, so he's got a lot on his plate. it's a bummer, but something I can all too easily understand. I'll miss your writing Tom, and not just because it means more for me, but you were a good writer with a lot of enthusiasm for what we do.
