The Holidays

Thanksgiving and Christmas are 2 of my most favorite Holidays. It is a great time to reflect on things that you are grateful for, things that have made you the person you are, and people you know you can't live without! These are also some of the most stressful times of year, especially for a coach!!!!!

Every year, my school, or I, host the Thanksgiving Girl's Basketball Tournament and I keep hoping that every year the preparation and stressing about everything getting done diminishes even a smidgen. BUT, it doesn't! Concession stand, hospitality room, gate workers, score keeper, book person, along with coaching your own team and many other things to get started! A person tries so hard to get everything done WELL before the event is to take place, but there is always something that I always forget about. Then I have to deal with people not wanting to volunteer their time, a couple of hours, on their days off! I totally understand, but as a coach we teach, coach and are still asked to work when we are off. So if anyone sees this and is a classroom teacher, please, PLEASE, help us coaches out and volunteer when we need some assistance!!!!!

Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and be thankful for what you have!

Love and God Bless
