This blog is about passion, motivation, and inspiration. That’s what unites us all in chasing plastic and what drives me to coach. Frisbee is a fantastic metaphor for life and what I’ve learned about team, about myself, and the game is something I love sharing with others.
This weekend at Pres Day was a fantastic experience! I fell in love with coaching the Pie Queens and spending time with my fellow coaches. I’m pretty lucky to get to work with Corey and Ethan and to be one of the first generation of ultimate players to be coached. Not only did I benefit from the coaching of my frisbee coaches, but they also guided and supported me through the process of fulfilling my dream of becoming a coach. I think it’s the coolest jobs ever.
This weekend, I took a second to appreciate those other crazy fools that stand on the opposing sideline in the rain and the hail. It was great to feel the cameraderie and to know that we were all up to the same thing, teaching the sport that we love and looking for opportunities to make a difference in the lives of our players. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing players succeed, is there?
Kudos to all the coaches out there — THANK YOU!
