What is the scientific principle that makes it easier to walk for three hours on a treadmill while watching football than to stand for two hours watching people play basketball?
Tonight was a fun debut as volunteer assistant coach of the Normal Community High School Ironmen freshman basketball squad. Most all I could do was watch and learn... names, for example. I think I got a lot of those down. The team has a player who's 6'5". By comparison, the tallest player on my varsity team as a senior was 6'4".
Coach Goldman is beautiful to watch in action. He has this way of telling it like it is, pointing out flaws in a constructive way. He even managed to be respectful when criticizing a lack of hustle. He's funny too, and not at the expense of others.
We used some drills that were fun and focused. The practice started with an inspirational message, and ended with fist bumps all around. It was a great use of time! With a game against crosstown rival Bloomington High on the horizon, every second counts.
