Coaching Ain't Easy

 
 
Along with a fantastic break from school and work, all of our usual activities came to a temporary halt over the holiday season as well.  Well, we can't be on break forever (darn!), so we've jumped back into the swing of things.
 
A new activity this year for J is basketball.  He loves basketball and enjoys watching it.  However, he's still finding his comfort zone on the court. 
 
After last night's game he broke down in tears in the car:
 
J:  (sobbing) I don't think I played very well.  I had to fight back the tears when I was playing.  I almost cried.
 
Steve (a first year coach):  Me too, buddy.  Me too.
 
There's a big learning curve going on at our house right now...for the player and the coach.
