Volleyball started this morning. Leven was up bright and early and out the door before I could say "bye!!" He loves this time of year. Although, I will hear him grip numerous times about the girls and all their drama, he still loves his job!
He loves:
- the smell of the gym floors being waxed for a new year
- getting all NEW uniforms, shoes, warm-ups for the girls AND for himself
- airing up the new/white/CLEAN volleyballs
- this year he got a new machine to use during practices (LOVES it!)
- seeing the girls faces when they do a good job
- when other coaches talk about how well he has done with his team
- seeing improvement with each player
- parent support
- GAME DAYS
- seeing his name in the newspaper (ha) (see website: http://www.news-journal.com/sports/article_7fa3ac5c-c9bf-5957-a270-83e53ecf9c07.html)
- laying in bed with me at night talking about his team/problems/game like situations/practices/players/and most of all GETTING MY ADVICE! He doesn't admit it, but he listens to my opinions all the time!
- and most of all WINNING!
I've very proud of Leven. He is a really really good coach and those girls show him tons of respect and love him. This years team is going to be BEAST (is that the word these kids use these days, and did I even use it right?) I don't want to jinx he and his team...but if you ever get a chance to come watch them play, you gotta do it! I want this year to be "THE YEAR!" 7 returning starters (6'3", 6'0", 5'10",5'10", 5'11" and 6'1"!) This is the height he's been waiting for.....Good luck Lady Pirates!

if there's an Austin tourney, I'm there! Mayeb you and Tay can tag along- we'll have an extra room and I know Kensley would love to play!
I totally understand! I have been a part of the coaching family all of my life! It is totally fun and hard sometimes! But, when you love sports it doesn't matter! It is so worth all of the good that they do with the kids. They really earn so much respect from them! And help them to mature so much!
