In some future posts, I am going to tell a few stories of some players and students that really stand out in my past. But before I do that, let me first explain why I coach.
First, I coach because I love the relationships I build over several years with my players. It is always neat to see how a kid matures. When you play a sport, there are always good times and bad times. Watching a player work through those struggles is awesome. They come to high school as little girls and leave as young women.
I also coach because I love to compete. I really don't mind losing if it makes me better. The bigger the challenge, the more I enjoy it.
Lastly, I love seeing how a team comes together (or doesn't). Last year was one of the few years where I have been a part of a team that went as far as they could have. We lost in the tournament when we should have. We won all of the close games at the end of the season. It was great
Two years ago, we really improved throughout the entire season, but just couldn't win any games. It was still neat to see how we progressed, even as we lost.
