As always... slow down. I'm such an impatient person that I want to get things moving as quickly as possible, but there are times when you have to stop and think to make sure you do the right thing.

I learned it is getting close to being time to take that long hard look at things.

I took a short look during the last week (my last game for the year was probably last night) and have set a few goals from myself before the start of next season. If I can hit those personal goals and basketball things stay the same...well, it's time.

Taking the rest of this week off, then start working on those goals.

I have learned mostly on this site, there are people that love to talk big and bad, but when put in a position to prove they can work, they can't.

Peace

I've learned that when fans and players approach me outside of the sport, it is generally a good conversation and there is no reason to fear it.

At first, I would see a coach or loud fan at the gas station or grocery store and avoid them. Now, I'm more likely to say, "Hey, Coach. Good game last week." It's always been friendly.

Total of nine years...with a forced medical break of five years between years seven and eight.

I started late in life as well.
