It Keeps Me Young
Someone asked recently why I still do high school sports. It’s a fair question since I’m not as young as I used to be, my children have all graduated and it’s a bit of a hike walking around some of these campuses. The short answer is the same thing I hear from some “veteran” coaches:…

Watching The Kids Play
I had fun this weekend watching the Little League World Series on television. It brought back memories of when my boys played Little League.

Waiting for the Game
This is one of those odd Sunday’s where we wake up but have hours to wait before the Patriots game. I am making out my list of things to do before we finally get to the game. There has been so much hype for this game since the Patriots won last Sunday. First we had…

Fighting the Winter Blues
How are you holding up my friend? This can be a difficult time of year for some folks, I feel a bit of it myself. The weather is colder, the holidays have passed and you might be struggling with those new year’s resolutions. I read something this week that said most people give up on…
