Day 3 of Spur's Training Camp

So you may remember just yesterday when I was writing about several new gigs I've picked up to make some extra dough around the school house. Coaching off season is one of them. It's an interesting program we run here. For some reason there are guys in the athletics class who are not athletes. Now, when I say 'not athletes' some of you may be picturing a normal kid who just doesn't play sports. And, at least in part, you would be right. But some of them... woog they are NOT athletes. So little in their world of video games and loafing around the halls could prepare them for a program which I deem to be difficult for even the most in shape and truly athletic individuals.

A girl came up to me today and told me that the guys on her bus are literally counting the days. COUNTING THE DAYS! How awesome is that?! I've literally been on the job for three days and already they're countin em up. I love it because I think some will truly see the merit in what I'm trying to do. Those folks will drink the Kool-Aid and become little beasts by summer time. Others who are too weak, too immature, too stupid, too complacent or too cocky to just give it their best shot are going to fall short. Speaking of too weak... I think I'll just cut the blog right there and go right into today's Overheard at WoRMS:


Kid: Coach, I'm feeling sick and I just threw up, I need to stop.

Me: Son, what is it you do here?

Kid: What do you mean?

Me: Sports?

Kid: I play basketball.

Me: The basketball team's inside son, you don't play basketball. Do you play any sports for the school?

Kid: no

Me: Why are you in athletics then?

Kid: I really don't... BLEEEH *throws up on his shoes*

Me: awesome....
