The Coach

[Old Timer]

As many of you know my youngest daughter was an standout basketball player in high school with a promising college career in front of her until two ACL surgeries drove her out of the game. She has completed college and is in her first year coaching at the middle school level. I only missed one of her games in high school when I was in Europe and missed a flight home in time to catch her first game of her senior season. However she is 300 miles from home now coaching in another state. This weekend was the first opportunity to see her in action on the side lines. I'm just bragging a little here with this post but I hope you enjoy some of the image I got of her on the side lines this weekend.

Just a couple more. Bare with me, I'm a proud papa.

Great work OT! And isn't it nice to see them out doing their own thing? Both of mine are out of college, married, and have their own careers ($$) now. They still frustrate me sometimes, but I get over it quicker.

Sarah played the game with a lot of intensity. I was good to see that look back in her eyes as she prowled the side lines Rick Pitino fashion.

Great shots!!! It looks like she coaches with a lot of intensity, and best of all it sure looks like she's having fun.

Nice job OT It definately looks like she has found her way. So what is her record as a first year coach? We have one here with a great bunch of not so talented kids who has a 1-9 record.... they lost tonight 65-29 to a 9 and 1 team.

Thanks JS. It hasn't been a banner year for victories but it has been a great learning experience. She did call last night with news of a win earlier in the evening but I'm not sure what the record is. I'm afraid loses out number wins.

Well OT she has plenty of time to learn and teach, there will be brighter seasons, and some not so bright, I'm sure she will do OK!

Yep the buttons are kind of popping on my shirt and not just because I'm packing more weight these days than I should. Thanks JETA!

As a coach myself, it is obvious to see enthusiasm in a another coach. You can tell she has invested herself 100%, just from her looks and emotions during the game. Nice Captures.

Those kids are very lucky.

You and I both OT! Not being able to walk much since mid October has packed some major poundage on me.

Glad that your buttons are popping for good reasons too. lol
