Hopefully Back On Track
Sadly, we were on a four game losing streak, but we ended up beating a team last night that our school has not beaten in 7 years. They have a fantastic program and when we held them off and won 2 – 1, boy, I will tell you, what a moral booster.
My kids were in the dumps, beat up, injured and on the point of giving up for the rest of the season. I don’t know if it was my half hour pep talk or if they finally just had it with losing that they stepped up and played their hearts out.
You would have thought I just won the Superbowl or something the way I ran up and down that sideline jumping for joy for those kids. Just to see the smiles on their faces and their parents hug them after the game made it so sweet. You have no idea what it feels like to be a part of all that.
Anyway, I will keep you up to date on our saga. We head to the Keys for a tournament this weekend. Here is hoping we will sweep. I am hoping they will keep the intensity that they had last night and roll with it. If not, then we will cross that bridge when we get there. These boys are a real joy to coach, so… Besides, it is nice to get away from a household of women every now and again. ;-) LOL Just kidding.
