Well I’m a little surprised by the amount of views I’m still getting on my Blog. Many of you definitely have too much time on your hands! Much like me….=) I’m going to head out today, to my daughter’s house in San Clemente. I’ll be down there relaxing until Wednesday. I’ll be back with some…

Yep those Thanksgiving practices were the best…..Back in the days of the BIG 5 conference you knew you had accomplished something if you had a morning practice on Thanksgiving! We’d met early on Turkey Day for practice. We would invite all the families and have donuts and coffee available. We’d practice in our Game uniforms…

TGIF….less than one week from Thanksgiving……I’m really looking forward to the Turkey and stuffing. In the playoffs there is nothing better than a Thanksgiving day practice. They were always the best! It used to be played in the Quarter finals, now it’s the Semi final round. It just means less teams get to experience that…

Well I hope everyone had an awesome Veterans Day Weekend! It’s definitely Fall….much cooler at nite now….I’m loving it! I’m helping at MLK in a ROTC classroom. One of our main topics has been leadership. I have told multiple stories of some of my greatest leaders and captains I had at RHS. I just wanted…

I can’t imagine what it would be like, to answer the question….”Are you a veteran of a foreign war?”…I didn’t serve our country in that capacity. My dad did, during WWII . In fact my father received the Purple Heart in the Battle of Bastogne. I don’t think my generation can relate to the complete…

And Losing is bad….Yes you can quote me…..=)….In sport, we as coaches play and coach each game with such passion, so if a victory causes extreme jubilation….a loss is just the opposite. The valley after a loss is deep and dark at times. My daughters team lost the Conference Championship game yesterday. It was a…
