End of week two.

So the second week has ended. And I'm having a blast. We had our second meet. Everyone made great improvements. One girl made a huge gain and is now one inch from the state standard. That means if she hit that height during the sectional meet in may she automatically qualifies for state regardless of her place. So that's cool. i think it was my changes that launched her, so to speak. But as one coach in Mississippi says, coaches don't make great athletes they just uncover them. Like an anthropologist with an artifact slowly removing the unwanted debris to reveal the treasure inside. so there is only so much credit a coach can take. And of course without her previous coaching would not have been ready for this step.

So it's all cool. Tomorrow morning I'll be heading to a track clinic at the U of M. Maybe I'll actually learn what I'm suppose to know. Imagine how good I'd be if i actually knew what I was doing?!

On other news. Face book is a blast. I made contact with an old friend from elementary school. She keeps in contact with most everyone I was in school with, and she says they still talk about me. That was cool to hear since i think about them often too.

It's funny i was only there for four years, just as long as anywhere else, but I connected better at that age with those people than any other time in my life. You'd think it would be opposite. Certain long standing friends excepted. Maybe because it was so much more uncomplicated it was deeper and less muddled. Hopefully at some point I'll be able to reconnect in person. How cool would that be? Thank you face book.
