Back in the Day - 1

Back in the Day .. Part-1 ..... 26.Jun 2025

The purpose of this series is to look at, and talk about the way it used to be.

At the moment, it seems like everything in the world has turned upside down.

It doesn’t matter whether we’re talking about politics or sports.

The news is disturbing, and even watching games on TV isn’t much fun.

The lack of respect for the game, for opponents, and for authority have somehow disappeared.

But it wasn’t always like that.

Yes, I believe all my players, and all my teams played hard, and they wanted to win.

But it was just a different environment. It was a different mindset.

It seemed that once we got inside the gym, everything outside, just faded away, at least for a while.

There was competition, but there was also camaraderie. There were friends and families and at least for a few hours it seemed that the problems outside didn’t matter.

I’m going to post a lot more of these.

That became more important to me after my bucket trip.

I’ve fallen behind in writing about the things that happened on my last trip to Germany, but I promise I will catch up.

There was so much that happened, and it was sort of like a validation for me. It left me feeling good about where I’ve been and what I’ve done.

I’m hoping the reports of the bucket trip as well as the “back in the day” series make you feel good, at least for a little while.

See you next time.

Coach.
