Today was to be a day full of work, a YMCA workout, and then coaching a doubleheader in the evening. Our summer school days end at 1:30, and by about noon I was dragging and just about out of energy. I decided to skip my Y workout and try to nap a bit before our games, and what a great choice that was. I ate some good food and napped at home and barely got to the game before the first pitch was thrown.
I must say it was great to get back into the dugout, but I also wasn't as involved as I normally am. I let the catchers call the pitches and I basically hung out at the front corner of the dugout with no responsibilities other than teaching situational things, attitudes, and the other normal things that coaches must do during games to help their teams and players make improvements.
I'm home now, but I need some sleep. I know my body needs to get back to full strength again and I guess it will tell me when to rest......hopefully I will listen!!
We did win two games to bring our season record to 24-9, which so far is progress from last year's 21-19 finish. Most of all, I felt at home in the dugout, which probably really is my second home!
