NFL Season Almost Over

MY NFL FLAG PACKERS TEAM

So, this was a really enjoyable NFL Flag football season for me.  Maybe it was the fact that I had so many new players who I was able to interact with. Maybe it was the fact that the weather was really nice and I didn't feel so bad out there. Maybe, just maybe it was the fact that I didn't put too much worry on the outcome of the games since, like the show, "Who's Line Is It Anyways?", the points don't matter.

I kept the play book simple and made sure that every kid had the chance to do something productive.  I let a parent try to teach the ZONE Defense during practice even if I didn't feel that it would really work in this kind of format. I didn't argue with other coaches, or parents or even the players for a matter of fact.  I just went out there and coached and felt like I did make a difference to some of the kids.  

We still have two more games to play but I figured I would sit down and write this out now before the season ends and I'm left with a void till the regular Flag season starts.  I am really blessed that I am able to coach these kids and that after the season is over some of them will remember me as the coach that believed in their abilities.  I know that not every kid feels that way, but, hey... I'm only human.

Till next season!

NFL Flag Season is Back

So, I realized today that I haven't blogged in a really long time.  The regular football season has been over for a while and so much has changed since the last entry...

First of all, we didn't make it to the Super Bowl. We did advance to the second round of the playoffs but it just wasn't meant to be.  Oh well, it was a very difficult year overall and let's just say that I am glad that it's over.

Now, onto NFL Flag.  I have three returning players from my regular team this season and overall a very good team.  I have a couple of really talented kids and some stellar players that I want to try to recruit for next season.  We are only two weeks into the short season and I am very impressed with what I see. It's nice to see the kids listen and actually break a huddle with enthusiasm again.

The other nice thing about this NFL Flag season is that  I feel zero stress about the overall performance of my team.  We are there to have fun.  No score, no records works great for me right now. I needed a break from the intensity.  I can kinda just have fun again coaching.  Till next season.  I'm already working up some plays for next season. It's going to be a good time!
