exit stage right pursued by feelings of "i should have done more"

May 16, 2005 14:13

well...i know i made an impact and thats all i ever really wanted. the ymca and i have decided that we should part ways. basicaly i dedided that these boys were worth fighting for and they decided that they were not. so after almost a year of ups and downs and have 10 amazing kids in my life it is time to move on. ive been offered a job at a Green Bay gym but im not sure how i feel about it. first, the pay is way low. second, the equipment is really not up to code. Third, im not sure how i feel about the owner (philosophicly). could i improve that gym if i decided to take the job...yes. inside of 3 months. would my team follow me up there...yes...but im not sure i want to take them to that gym in fact im pretty sure i dont. so i will instead go to oshkosh and bother that gym and see if they need me. im so qualified for the job its recockulous but who knows...i know i did something great for these boys and i know we will always stay intouch but i (because i habor guilt like a catholic) i cant shake the feeling that i could have done more...i have been assured by girlfriend and team mother alike that this is simply not true but...we all know me.

...busy busy busy...

in further new re: above suckiness... i found out how their first practice without me went...
the coach who replaced me (aka my former boss) aparently lied to them...how does it feel to lie to children Laura?
who the fuck lies to 8 to 12 year olds? i what the hell. how do you sleep at night (i am alot more pissed than i am typing...i mean come on...she lied to my boys.) i wanna bring her a huge scarlet 'L' to but on her coaching jacket.
i also hear that there has been a huge backlash from the parents of both the team and classes i coached. they are going to petition the board of directors about this and see what happens. what worries me the most is that none of the coaches that are going to coach my boys has any clue how to spot...god im upset about this. its been a few days now and ive tried to see the good and move on(which i am hence the trying to find a new job and the keeping in touch with the boys) but im so angry for these guys...they dont deserve this. they did nothing wrong.
