Back to the Grind
By Coach P | August 12, 2008
Well, school’s back in session and football season is, basically, in full swing. We had our last scrimmage yesterday and have to go waste a night at a jamboree Thursday night and then we begin preparations for our 1st game. Football, for us, has become a year round job. We take a couple of weeks off after the season is over. We take the Christmas holidays off and we take off a state mandated “dead period” for two weeks in the summer. Other than that, we never stop. I really realized 2 things this summer. I miss the extra time at home with my kids in the summer….and I wish I could just coach for a living. It was really nice to come in, get all of my football stuff done, and go home. I definitely inherited the coaching gene from my father, but I appear to have missed the teaching gene. For 39 years he has taught a full load of English classes and coached football and wrestling. More power to him. I coach only football and teach PE and wellness (health) and it drives me crazy to sit through all these classes. But, to take a line from the old TV show “Coach”…..”God, I love football.”
