Talking

I'm a baseball only guy myself. For me, I've got a break until fall ball starts up. It's simple really....I brew some beer, I take off in the motorhome for a couple weeks, attend a clinic or two, then back in the saddle. Work fall ball through october, then head off to a warm climate until baseball starts back up. Yep... lifes hard.. but somebody has to do it.

I am like Garth. I work three sports.

When June hits I do not work a single baseball game most of the summer. I do work a tournament for a few days during the end of July and early August.

When June starts I work exclusively basketball and I attend many basketball camps.

I am involved in a football class that runs from early July into August.

Just like Garth, I am not sure what winding down means.

Peace

My fall / winter is mostly clinics (Both attending & teaching) including evaluating fall ball. May do a few Sunday club (Travel league) games.

This year I am concentrating on trying to fully rehab the knee, which will mean better mobility, etc. If successful it's back to a light college ball schedule in 2008. If not, it's knee replacement time and missing 1/2 of 2008 at best.

Some time around mid-August I push the blue shirts to the back of the closet and pull the black and white striped shirts to the front.

I work 3 sports, too, but my only overlap is baseball overlapping football for a few weeks. I wouldn't touch summer basketball for anything.

High School baseball starts the middle of Feb., travel ball starts the end of March, July has three World Series events, August is time off unless I can find a tourney somewhere, Sept is fall ball (some through Oct - but I don't work much past the 1st weekend). Winter is clinics, reading, etc - longing for Feb.

Plan (should say hope) to get into college ball in the spring which will start the season at the beginning of Feb (a couple of weeks earlier than usual).

I don't wind down, it just grinds to a halt.
