The one thing I don’t like about lacrosse season is that we don’t have much time to hang out. Well, that’s not entirely true. I could join a 24/7 place and go at 11pm or 5am, but really that’s cutting into the paltry 5-6 hours of sleep I get in a night as it is.
But not to worry old friend. As soon as we finish our playoff run to greatness we shall reignite our love/hate relationship just in time to prepare for the summer season.
This new nike commercial with the tag line “break to build” is awesome. As the off-season begins to ramp up for next spring I can only hope to instill this sort of mentality in some of my kids. If I can than I think I will have taken a step towards becoming not only a successful, but a good head coach.
With schools around the country kicking off in the next week or two it’s time for the return of High School athletics. That means it’s time to start preparing for the next year. The spring of 2010 will mark my first year has a head coach and I’m pretty excited about it.
I’ve been doing my best to gather all the information I can about scheduling, uniforms, and practice gear. One thing I’ve learned from my two years as an assistant is that if you need something in February you better get on it no later than October.
I feel by getting a lot of this out of the way now, it will allow me to really focus on off-season training in the fall and pre-season come January! Plus if everything rolls like I’d like we are going to look sexy this spring!!
