It's been awhile since I have updated this so here's what has been going on in life. I spent my summer in Montana. At first I didn't know whether or not to be excited to hang around home for two months. June turned out to be a crappy month considering it rained pretty much every day of the month. But once July came it was nothing but golf. If I wasn't on the golf course playing, I was on the golf course caddying. This job turned out to be a fantastic opportunity. I got to caddy for some pretty cool people. Some quickly finished and then it was back to Utah and reality.
Tennis started on July 30th. We have a very young team. We have only two juniors, nine sophomores, and three freshman. My number one singles player is a freshman and number two is a sophomore. My number one doubles team just started playing tennis this past year. Coaching girls is very taxing on my patience. Sometimes I just want to scream and yell at them but I know if I do that i'll lose some of them. My number one is so close to winning matches but yet has but together an i entire match for a win. She lost 4-6, 4-6 her first match and just lost 5-7, 4-6 to a girl who advanced to the second round of the state tournament. I'm so proud of the way she has handled playing juniors and seniors. I can't wait for her to get older and hit with some more pace. The season has gone by very quickly. I only have two weeks left of the season.
School started only two weeks ago and it has gone very well so far. My PE classes this year have gone so much more smoothly. They have heard all the rumors about my class from last year and how much they run if they are disrespectful and they have all fallen in line thus far. I have been hired ad the boys' basketball coach at the junior high. I'm looking forward to this season. I am already thinking we are going to be 10 deep with kids I feel comfortable putting on the court. It should be a great season. The boys are looking forward to it too. They have all heard I have been made coach and they keep bugging me to hold open gyms already. Season doesn't start until November. They remember what the feeling was like when they lost in the playoffs last year and want to redeem themselves.
