Man, when I started this day, I did not think it would go the way it did.

Today was a roller coaster. I am SO tired from only getting collectively about four hours of sleep but I am so happy right now.

Last year when I started coaching softball at the high school level I was the assistant JV coach. What that basically means is that I was helping out, stepping in to correct mistakes but wasn’t in charge of the show.

This year I am the head coach and let me tell you when I found out that I was going to be the head coach I was scared. I’ve never actually been in charge and led my own team before I always just helped out the head coach.

Today was my first practice where I was in charge and took the lead. I was SO nervous. How was I supposed to know the best exercises to do? Not only that but the pressure of having the varsity coaches watching was also stressful. I went in to today’s practice trying to stay positive but freaking out in the inside.

By the end of practice today, all I heard from the girls was how much they liked practice today and how much fun they had. How they feel like they’re improving already.

I am so shocked. I am so dang happy. I am definitely riding a high right now. Just so stoked about where this season is going to go.
