Colorado Coach Diary Day 54

Jaiden’s croup was improving with steroids and albuterol inhalation treatment. 

I should not have waited to get our kids enrolled in religious classes. Janae and I had talked about Catholic schools.

The football world is allover myself with offers, gossip, and social media chatter. I am far more concerned about my English and literature classes, my frosh basketball team, and our kids. 

 Colorado coaching ideas, coach diary

The 2 QB scheme has caught quite the interest – with some of the plays being shown on national sports broadcasts.

I awoke and obtained a stern conversation from a dad whose son in 4th string on our basketball squad. 

Alison struggled to talk for about 20 minutes – stating she is at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota receiving complex chemotherapy. 

The kids are having so much fun outside playing in this neighborhood. 

My life coach suggested I concentrate on my kids, teaching, and coaching. It is obvious that these gals are on the rebound and need a relationship – even if not perfect. Love can be transcendent and fleeting. 

Dr. Alison Maples (my pediatrician girlfriend who I have seen for weeks) called from the Mayo Clinic. 

My day is busy with nannies because the regular nanny became ill. 

The day after the last frosh games was exciting. Many parents loved the idea of no cuts and our frosh team with > 50 players all playing.

Today, I received a call from a parent on the frosh basketball team. 

The kids absolutely love Monument, Colorado. They are performing well in school, have gobs of friends, have a nice puppy named Spark, and now only occasionally talk about mom.

An article in a national sports publication was released today about Wilford Tremby’s 2 – QB set offensive attack.

Today, I dealt with a ton from the student who overdosed. He finally admitted to a continuous flow of drugs, sales to support his drug habit, and other illicit behavior. 

The date with Mandy went exceptionally well. We had lunch at her house – well prepared. 

Smitty stopped over after supper and asked about Mandy. He was reading this on a social media platform that I was spotted at the Sondheim musical with Mandy Friedman. 

I have embarked in my literature class some great writers of the past including from my list Homer from Ancient Greece (The Iliad and Odyssey).
