It’s the end of “the season” for most of us. Sixty-four teams live to see one more game and the other nearly 300 D1 programs are done. Our lives revolve around these 12-14 weeks. So much so that this small window of a “season” year defines all else: In season, Out of season, Pre-season, Post-season, Recruiting season, Fall season, Spring season….
It’s a weird existence and at the same time the best existence because we have this target, something to live for, something to work towards for 9 months.
On our way home from our conference semifinals loss, my daughter said “are you talking about next season already?” She knows me well. Of course we were and we hadn’t left the bus.
Every team and every coach looks forward to the new beginning, and I often wonder how normal people with normal jobs stay as invested as us. All the while we have the adrenaline rush of competing and the intrinsic satisfaction of (hopefully) impacting the next generation and players at least a small role in their journey to become future leaders and kick ass women running the world.
It’s a weird job and the best job rolled into one. Personally I’m get to do it with my bestie and teammate for life where it all started for us, at one of the best places in the world. For that I thank my lucky stars everyday! @ShacksTribe @WMTribeWSOC @TribeAthletics
