sis's volleyball....
this weekend my youngest sister had a volleyball tourney in michigan. we had to get up and leave at 6:00 sat morning because it takes 2 hours to get there so i fall asleep on the way there. we get there and the whole team shows up and not all of them have the same shirts on. it is illegal for teams to wear 2 different colored shirts on. that was a big deal but there was a bigger deal that happened...the teams coach was sick and they didnt have another coach to coach them! oh no!! Fin is the coach that was supposed to show up. well after freaking out, he shows up and hes freaking out. says he drove all the way here and his wife needs the car he drove. its got thier kids baseball stuff in it. so he asks me- can i drive his car all the way back to indiana and back? HAHA i slept on the way here! i dont know my way...so he told me that i had to coach the team! omg! omg! i have never coached in my life! never! i didnt know what to do! so i had them run and do some volleyball stuff but i couldnt think of anything very good. i didnt know what to about line ups..i have never seen this team play so i dont know what their positions are. i was soo nervous.. i had the parents on my side and they were helping me. the kids were nice too. i did my best to play equally. we won! i was proud!! then i realized that i had to ref the next game. i have never never ever did that before. i didnt know what to do! i was freaking out! meanwhile all the parents were upset that thier child had to be this one player that didnt get to serve or only got to play front row...i was sick of all the complaints! i was not worried about that...and it wasnt my fault that the girls were to irresponsible not to bring both thier shirts. no matter what, i couldnt change the way we set up the court...so i had to ref the first game then Fin showed up and took over. thank god!! the parents quit complaining because they know they cant say anything about it. Fin is the high school coach and this is the junior high volleyball team so he didnt know the team either. so i still had to be the assistant coach. i had so much fun. i made the line up and was pretty much the boss. that was such a good memory! :)

That is incredibly impressive to be able to coach without experience. Maybe you should look into being a professional coach some day? Anyway cool story.
