sittin' on the dock of the bay...
oh me oh my, i was the only one at practice today, because it was sat morn and the high school coach coaches our morning practices during the week and john- the club head coach- does the rest and sat morning. anyways, they were both there and bridget- the hs coach- was going to practice with me and john recalled that i asked for help with my breaststroke yesterday, so this practice was devoted to that. anyways, right when i walked in i just saw john and bridget sitting there and john was like "see, i told you." and that made me happy. he was confident that i would show up, because i have like perfect attendance and the old head coach quit about a month before i got there because the kids weren't motivated enough, occasionally he would get a little teaser where someone would come consistantly for a couple weeks, and kimo- the old head coach was like "well, maybe..." but then that would only lead to disappointment with the kid barely showing up after that. he just couldn't take that anymore, but if he had only waited another month, he would have gotten exactly what he was looking for. anyways, john and bridget were talking about how disappointed they were in these kids but then bridget said " you can't convince them at this age, they gotta have the heart" and she is so right, because who would want to come that often if they weren't getting anything from this? but john compliments how well i was trained at sac- discipline wise- like how hard i work and this morning he said to me that it was nice to have me at practice today, that it was nice to finally have someone who is motivated. i was glowing. i feed off of shit like that. anyways, i don't want to let them down. work last night was cool, late shift- got off at about 11. it was a hell of a lot more fun than housekeeping that i did earlier that day. wow, double time in swimming (2 practices) and double at work (2 shifts). oh well, it wasn't that bad. got another split shift at work today also, i can't wait to go to swim. and sorry for how long this was about swimming, so you probably don't understand, or maybe you do, but- i don't know- amen.
