Throwback Thursday time. In 2015 in my first year of teaching, I said yes to everything that was asked of me. This of course included coaching soccer, despite not knowing anything about the sport.
Needless to say, I was a pretty terrible coach. You know how coaches shout things at players during games? I had no idea what to shout to students other than to obviously pass the ball and make it in. One time, when we were losing by like 15 points, I didn’t even do a post-game huddle. I swore after that season (we won 3, tied 3, and lost 3 games), I would never coach a sport again. To this date, that promise has been fullfilled. I’ll stick to Builder’s Club and other fun endeavors more suited to my lack of jock physique.
