Hello all,

 

Today is one of the days I dread being a coach.  The day after you lose in the tournament.  Everything changes on this day starting with your routine.  I was getting VERY used seeing those 20 boys after school and enjoying the adventure that they let me be apart of this season.  The problem is it really didn't hit me until after the game last night that this had occured. As a coach of many things Im sure I'll get that feeling back but this season was special for me.   Thank you Savages for the awesome season and experience.

Baseball Coaches Clinic

Over the weekend I was able to go to the Iowa High School Athletic Baseball Coaches Association Clinic.  One of the speakers I was Mike Anderson, Head Baseball coach at the University of Nebraska.  Some of the things he mentioned in the beginning of his speech really connected to me as a teacher and coach.
