Maybe, instead of fearing that everyone is going to see through my facade and realize that I've been faking it all this time, I should believe the ones who are actually benefiting from my work when they tell

I need to tattoo that backwards on my forehead so I see it every time I look in a mirror. Good luck, sweetie. Hope things go well. And don't forget to sell yourself! In a good, professional way, of course.

It's not really a job per se, it's just a derby thing. The traveling team has been wooing me to be their bench coach for two seasons and I'm giving in. It's not a huge deal or anything, but it is nice for the ego when the top skaters on our league are actively requiting me for coaching and to run the bench. It's just a bunch of pressure though too. We're about to start competing nationally, and there is a lot at stake for the league.
