So Volleyball has been going on for about 2 1/2 weeks.... This is my first year coaching and I am pretty excited. We have enough girls to have 3 teams, which is kinda challenging on the coaching side as the range is from 4th year players to absolute beginners.
I am still learning what coaching is all about but I thought I would share a few things.
You know you are a coach when...
... your whistle is perpetually hanging around your neck
... you no longer wear knee pads to practice
... you seem to be always looking at a notebook (i.e. practice schedule)
... you have written out 3 different serve orders and you are still not sure you have it the way you want it
... played coach-on-2, except now you are the one spiking the balls
... you can officially add "Volleyball Coaches meeting" to your schedule... which actually means
another trip to Starbucks ;)
Hope this made you smile :)
