Getting Involved

As a basketball coach of 7th grade girls it isn't a surprise that feelings get hurt because of things said.  We have less than a week left of the season and a situation arose in the last few days that simply needed to be addressed. I tried to properly prepare myself and it seemed like the initial address went rather smoothly.  I have noticed, though, that by me getting involved in the situation that I am now in the middle of it.  Dangerous. I am definitely not perfect and don't always say the right things, but I hope that good things will come of all that has transpired in the last few days.  I sure wish I could control everything but I know that I can't.  It can kind be a little bit nerve wracking to wait for the future to show its self and hopefully it will be pretty.  I DO know that I'm impressed with my girls though.  Many of them have taken the initiative to own up to their mistakes and take the steps to correct those mistakes.  I love them and will miss them when our season is over.  As I was talking to Jaret about the team today he asked if I would miss coaching them.  I am happy to say that I will.  I enjoy going to practices and games and the only real thing I dread about coaching right now is that since Jaret found a job I have to find a baby sitter for Holland.  I still need to find a sitter for tomorrow :)
