Things are Starting to Click

If only the rest of the world could be this easy!!

OK - First of all. I will say this once again.  I LOVE COACHING! There... I got that out of my system.  Now, having said that let me say that when you start to see the pieces of a puzzle come together and form a beautiful picture; the feeling is great.  We had practice yesterday and welcomed our newest member to our team. I don't use names because I like to respect the kids and parents privacy, but this kid was there for his first time and did GREAT!  We were down a lineman and we were able to teach him some basics and plug him into both the Offensive and Defensive lines without too much hassle.  That's a great thing.  Kids are truly amazing.  They can pick up so much information so quickly.

I had a great moment yesterday when one of the Assistant Coaches came up to me after a couple of my "Boise State/NCAA Video Game" Plays and said, "Hey Coach, that's a great play. I like that!"  That's a great feeling for me because I have been a parent on the sideline and helped with other coaches and there is nothing worse than seeing a coach run the same plays over and over and over and .... well, you get the point.

I am  hoping that Mother Nature allows us the same kind of weather this weekend that she gave us yesterday because my kids are ready to play some football! 

I am confident but not cocky. I am eager but not desperate.  I am ready to go out there and play some Aftershock football!  I like our team name.  Because that's exactly what we plan on doing to our opponents.  Leaving them in a state of shock!  Saturday's game time is 3:15 pm.  I can't think of any other way to spend my Saturday then with my son and my team...

I'll ask this again; Are you ready for some football!?  I know I am!
