Amongst all the school drama, my little girls are walking in their mommas footsteps. Well, one of them this year is. Softball! I love softball. Played it in High School and some out of high school. The thrill and the competitiveness is in the air. The scariest part-I'm one of the assistant coaches on my daughters 8U team. So you can imagine the fear in the back of the mind.
Last night was our first practice. We were all pumped for it and had all the drills we have been researching to teach. Well, to make a long story short. It flew out the window as soon as we stepped on the field. I mean, we forgot everything. Every drill their was. Yep, it was so unorganized and anyone who knows me, I hate that!!!!!! I felt like a fish out of the water. ME, a coach???? It is so much different than playing. They say coach like you play, well I am here to tell you that is easier said than done. You have to get down to their level and all the rules are different. I was so happy for it to be over. My friend says, "it gets easier". Hopefully by Sunday!
Sunday is the big day. This is where we pick what position the girls will play. Thank goodness for a friend of ours who's coached for many years is coming to guide us in the right direction. Hope it works, so wish me luck.!!!
