First Game! New Team! |
Anyone that has played for me knows that at some point I'll get frustrated with players letting balls fall to the ground. I particularly get frustrated when balls fall on the ground because girls don't move their feet. I can only assume that the girls do not know what to do so, I have to show them. Now, I'm not as young as I use to be, and I currently have an ankle impingement that requires a brace, rest and ice, but the coach in me could not let balls keep hitting the ground due to ignorance. What's a coach to do? Well, if its me then some poor girl will be told to grab my shirt tales and move with me. Last night the girls learned quick that this old lady might be injured and not as quick as she use to be, but she can still move.
They giggled and laughed. I dragged a few behind me and my daughter just rolled her eyes. She's seen this done before, usually with a lot of yelling. She proceeded to warn my shirt tale girls that they better move because I wasn't playing. I know that it will be a different season than the years of the past. I'm starting a program from scratch with only one girl that has ever played....my daughter who is the youngest person on the team! One thing is for sure, there will be more nights of girls trying to keep up holding onto my shirt tales!
