kid or coach...



Tonight was our volleyball banquet. It was a time to come together as a program and look back on what an amazing season we had. This was definately one of the most interesting banquets I have been to...

I have been sick lately and can't seem to shake this congestion, so the first thing I did when I walked in was go to the bathroom to blow my nose. In there with me was one of my players moms who proceeded to ask me about my weight loss, how much it was, and how I did it. I was pretty excited to share my success and hope for continuing to get in better shape. Oh but the conversation did not stop there, the next thing she told me was that her current husband and ex-husband both noticed me when I walked in and said "wow Coach Vick looks really good." I may not be married yet, but apparently I have plenty of options...
Later on in the evening it was my turn to introduce my team and give a little speech. The speech part went pretty well, but the trouble came when it was time to introduce the team. Before I started calling out their names I said "Now here is your 2008 JV volleyball team." The second it came out of my mouth I knew it wasn't right...I looked down at the head coach who was shaking her head and laughing at me saying "uh no it's not." Oops, I tried to explain myself by saying that I subtracted too many years, which just made things worse. What I ment was that I was overthinking the new year, and was thinking that it just turned to 2009 not 2010...wow how time flies. Anyway, I ended my speech with, "wow last years speech was so much better!!" I blame it on the cough meds!

It's a good think I do not embarass easily, because there were plenty of things that happened that could have made my face turn red. Of course the speech was at the top of the list. There was also the picture of me on the video with my head tossed back, my leg kicked up and my tongue sticking out!! Just like as a kid! At the end of the night the girls have a dance. The first song that played was the Cupid Shuffle and guess who was out there leading the group...that's right, ME!! We do the Cupid Shuffle every day in my Adaptive PE class at school, so I got really excited at another opportunity to perform. At the end of the song it faded into the next, the first line...apple bottom jeans and the boots with the fir...that's when I walked off the floor and told the girls they were on their own on this one. So I ask you...kid or coach?
With all of the crazy things that happened it was still a great night of celebration with my girls! I am sad to see them move on, but I am already looking forward to next season!!
