I helped coached my first set of middle school boys basketball games today, and I have to say, I had loads of fun! I didn’t play basketball growing up and I didn’t know much about the game before I signed on to help coach, but after a few weeks with these boys and coach Pederson, I’m beginning to enjoy and maybe even love this game. I’m excited for the rest of this season!

The middle school boys basketball season began on Tuesday with only the head coach hired to help coach them. I was asked a few weeks ago if I wanted to help, but I was eager to take a break from coaching until maybe the spring.

Yesterday one of my football boys asked me if I can help coach basketball.

I told him I would think about it, but I knew the answer as soon as he asked me:

I had my first basketball practice tonight, and I loved every minute of it. Here’s to another season with these boys 🍻
