Sorry I haven't been able to post much in my journal lately,guys. I have been really busy with coaching....at the high school 3 days a week for conditioning and strength, and like I had mentioned befeore, I'm coaching my youngest son's Pop Warner team as well. That's practice ,training, or games every day of the week except Sunday. Wouldn't miss it for the world, though. The High School is 4-0, and we beat the 7th ranked team in the state last night! But the real joy comes from coaching the 9 and 10 year olds in the Pop Warner league. Sad to say, but even in youth sports at that age alot of "shaky" things go on behind the scenes, like trying to stack teams, etc.,.. Well at the league draft this year I purposely took a majority of the kids no one else wanted and at our first practice I told them they were going to accomplish things nobody thought they ever could.........As I am writing this today we are 3-1 and today we will be playing the first place team and my kids are READY! But, winning and losing aside, to see the looks on the faces of these young kids starting to believe in themselves and accomplish things they never thought they could athletically, is worth more than any amount of money in the world. What's happening to them now will positively shape them the rest of their lives and I feel so fortunate to be a part of that. No one will ever look at my kids the same way again, and just as importantly, I hope it gives some of the other coaches and adults affiliated with the league something to think about!!

Keith, I think its amazing how giving you are with your time and energy! My children are grown now but I remember how much energy and time that it took just to get them back and forth to their activities!
Your an awesome role model and I really think its great what your doing with that group of children! Your making a positive impact on their lives that they will never forget!

Well.....finally had some time to get on again!!! Even got both workouts in today !!!! I know there's been alot going on........I want to congratulate Kyle, Andrew, and Eric for a great showing this past weekend. They are each terrific bodybuilders and will go on to accomplish much. Both of the football teams I coach for, the local HS, and my 9 yr olds' Pop Warner team, won their first round playoff games so I'm still really wrapped up in that. It's been a bit of a grind, but, just to see what this has meant to both groups, has more than made it all worthwhile. They are both, each, really a terrific group of kids. I'm back to double splitting, 3 on, 1 off, and not worrying too much if my schedule gets pushed back a day or two. For now, I owe it to the kids to do whatever I can to help them to continue their drive through the playoffs....I'll have plenty of time for myself after that. 36 weeks until the Master's Nationals!!

Just an update, guys...............
My son's Pop Warner team lost in the semis last Saturday, 18-12. The kids played their hearts out and went so much farther than most thought they could this year........I told them I was as proud of each one of them as I could be, and that it was my privelege to be their coach. Remember, I took most of the kids nobody wanted...they learned that if you have heart, you can overcome any odds.What a great group of kids! They will carry what they accomplished this year throughout the rest of their lives. I'm so glad I was a part of that!
Now on to another great group of kids.... Tomorrow night the HS plays in the 6A semis. It's been a great year for them, and, again, I feel so fortunate to have been a part of that, too. Regardless of what you might hear about kids today...I know from first hand experience that there's alot of terrific kids out there.
Keith
