A few random preseason thoughts ...
--What is it about SWAG -- you know, the free team gear we hand out? -- that gets our athletes so very excited? I swear, our athletes act like little kids on Christmas morning when we hand out the gear. Hopefully, the Nike elves did a good job this year.
--Selected student-athletes are permitted to drive vans for practice. While many of our athletes covet this position, we as coaches take this responsibility seriously and as a result do not just randomly toss van keys to any athletes. Safety is the most important thing.
--Preseason week means team-bonding evening activities. Tonight, as I type this, is bowling night. Not sure what the rest of the week has in store. My evenings are filled with such exciting activities as attending/shuttling girls to and from my daughter's cheerleading practice, weeding the vegetable garden, checking my e-mails, reading a book and going to bed as close to 9:30 as possible.
--The oppressive heat and humidity of this summer has broken just in time for preseason. It is still warm, to be sure, but the thick humidity and 90-plus temperatures have disappeared. For now. Surely, it will return.
Good night.
Disappointed that Monday minigolf seems to have become a thing of the past. The first day of preseason was all about hills, minigolf, and DQ.
