In case you're wondering...

We're "Zooming" with our students and athletes during the lock-down.  We're also doing Zoom meetings for our teacher training and meetings.  Starting to get a little more comfortable with it, but would much rather be in the classroom and on the pool deck!


Been doing some reading while sitting at home.  Nevil Shute (Norway) is my favorite author, so some of these I'd read long ago.

We've had a lot of turnover in our athletic director position over the past couple of decades here in Bay City.  One of our former AD's is coming back, and the community is excited.

Recalled this post from October of 2014 where I mentioned Coach Trahan:

Best coaches I've worked for (guys like Warren Trahan & Terry Cron) trusted us to know our sport and take care of business.  Only time they ever got more involved was to support us when issues arose.  Great communicators who took great care of their coaches and athletes.

Worst coaches I've worked for micromanaged us into submission.  We became paper-pushers working to further their careers.  Those folks didn't give a rip about our athletes or coaches.
