Tonight I Resign
Of course I would never do that to the kids, but there are times when we all wish we could just walk away. Inevitably it has nothing to do with a kid and everything to do with the parents. I used to have a friend in my old Virginia league that would say “everything would run so smooth if it weren’t for the parents”. Amen brother!
The fall season is not about winning, it is about developing. The parents never seem to understand that and when we start losing they freak out. The work the kids get this season pays dividends in June when it matters. This is difficult to convey, but it is definitely the case. We have two top team championship appearances to prove it. Now we just have to get by the Buffalo Bills bridesmaid syndrome this spring and all will be good, and then, maybe I will truly resign.
How do you pick yourself back up when you get down?

I think you should take a relook at your original goals. If after the reassessment they still look just as much of a motivating force as before then you wont have any problems picking yourself up. Otherwise rework your goals. Either ways it will be a reality check that will get you out of the slump.
Dont resign those kids need you!
Thank you for your words of encouragement. You are right, my goal this season is to do everything I can to give the kids the tools they need to make themselves better physically and mentally. Thanks for cheering me up!
