By no particular willpower or push of my own, I am not hungry today. Maybe its my stuffy nose that makes things a bit less appealing. Maybe I have eaten so much in the last week that my body just doesnt want anymore? Or possible its because I went to practice this morning so I didnt workout really hard until about 10am? Either way, Im happy about it.
But back to the topic at hand. Coaching. I have officially taken on complete responsibilities of my first team ever. I have run privates and assisted on teams but this is my first go around at the helm. This will be extremely valuable information for me to take on to a head coaching job at a college. It is vital that I learn to run this team. Whether or not this go-around is successful. Frank says the most important things for me to do are [in order]: get a team manager, recruit more players, contact the woman who is in charge of the money and prices for the club, and keep them coming out to practice. I feel as though I need to get the girls and parents started on some type of meeting. I need to lay the ground rules for my team. Here we go:
Parents: 1) 24hr rule, do not approach me with questions, inquiries, complaints or anything of that nature until you have had 24hrs to relax and think about the topic. 2) Please have the girls at every single practice and game unless you notify at least an hour before the time the girls are slated to arrive, here is my phone number xxx-xxx-xxxx. 3) ???
Girls: 1) We are here to learn and have fun, one can not happen without the other, bring your gameface and your thinking cap. 2) When I am talking there is no talking 3) When you get practice gear [shorts, shirts, socks] wear them to every practice. 4) When I say "BRING IT IN", last one in has to clean up the gear after practice
Thats all I have for now. Any ideas as to what parents need to know? The girls? Slammers GU9, looks like its going to be an exciting year!
