okay, so in my last blog, i know 2 in one day... i’ll explain that to, i told you that i bought a new computer and that i’m SUPER excited about it. well the reason i was able to get it is because i was hired as the new head 8th grade girls basketball coach for Orion Middle school. I’m as excited about the coaching gig as i am the computer...if not more!!! one of my biggest passions is working with students. my other is basketball. i might not play a whole lot any more, but i love being able to teach and work with students at various skills that are needed for this game. Plus, i learned so many life lessons playing the game that i want to pass that on to students.
the other reason i’m excited is because i feel like i can have an impact on a least a small group of students and help them to understand that Basketball is fun and it’s not always about the win column at this age level. Evidently my season begins in December with tryouts and then games begin in January. I’ve got an assistant already and the principle and athletic director seem to be really cool and share my same feelings about this age level and the priority of teaching fundamentals and over emphasizing the win loss column.
now, part 2 of this, my blog frequency. one of the new programs i downloaded is called macjournal. this program will allow me to type an entry and the upload it when i’m in a wireless area. so now i can type and store instead of trying to remember when i’m by a signal. ya macs!
