I had butterflies in my stomach all day yesterday. And my adrenaline didn’t stop pumping till about two hours after the game! Our first game of the season goes in the L column. We lost by two baskets.

The kids were pretty disappointed that we lost but I told them they needed to translate that disappointed into the way they practice next week. We’ll also make a few game plan and personnel adjustments. Part of the coach’s learning curve.

I think my primary goal as a coach is to try to pull the potential out of these kids. And half the battle is confidence. I try to give a word of encourage to each player after every game so we keep building on strengths.

Till next week!
