My New Year’s Resolutions

Here are my top 10 Coaching New Year’s Resolutions

10. I will learn AND REMEMBER every kid’s name on the team BEFORE the end of the season.
9. I will only say “come on blue” once per inning. (Will probably be the first one to be broken)
8. I will maintain my cool when one of my players runs full speed to the next base on a caught line drive for the 5th time in the game! (Probably not, but again, sounds good)
7. I will be on time to every practice.
6. I will have a plan for every practice. (Yeah right)
5. I will focus on the field and not the pretty moms in the stands! (Again, unlikely)
4. I will draft kids for their commitment to team and not their ability…(sure)
3. I will not argue with anyone from a city who’s name starts with D…(anyone believe this?)
2. I won’t let uniformed parents with nothing better to do with their lives than complain bother me. (This one I will keep)
1. I will remember that 10 years from now, none of this will really matter except the impact I have on the kid’s lives.

Now don’t go gettin’ your panties all in a ruffle…just a little fun for the end of the year.

What’s your resolution?

Time to Plan for Next Year

Now that the season is over, take this week off and enjoy Thanksgiving w/ your family! Then, start planning for next year! Ask yourself, what is the one thing I can do to make my league or team better next year? Then start working towards making that happen. If every coach and board member across the world did that can you imagine how much progress would occur? The power of numbers if phenomenal!

What is the one thing you will do to make your league better? (Firing me is not an option!…lol)

Halloween Rock Star

Halloween is one of my favorite nights. In Virginia we lived in a neighborhood where the children filled an entire school bus and our neighborhood in Florida is no different. We literally go through five or six large bags of candy every Halloween. I am always afraid we are going to run out as I am the assigned candy doler-outer. Halloween this year falls on Friday night so it should be a much bigger event. I think I will great all my trick-or-treaters as an ’80’s rock star!

Maybe I will crank some new Crue, Metallica, throw in a little Ozzy and some poser rock for the chicks…lol. I wonder if I will just scare the trick or treaters away? While I once may have looked like a studly rocker, now I would probably be akin to meat loaf. Not that Meat’s music is bad, but I have never said, “man, I want to look like Meat Loaf.”

Anyway, I was perusing Halloween Costumes on the web and I found the awesome 1980’s rock star wig pictured above. With some temporary tatoos I will be stylin! Maybe I will break out the black King V and lay down some whicked Megadeth liches for the kiddies. You can take the rocker of the band, but you can never take the band out of the rocker.

Check out Halloween Adventure to find the perfect Halloween Costumes for your personality. They have everything you could want and more. Hurry over now and order.
