Not sure but there is something about when it’s Friday and all I can think about is being out on the water on Saturday, and then sleeping in on Sunday.. As the last few weeks I’ve been just on the go and my body is telling me to slow down but I can’t. Ugh..

Hope everyone had a great friday and a great weekend.

Sorry for the short post but trying to type when falling a sleep at the keyboard is a bad mix..

There are a lot of coaches out there in the dragon boating world and elsewhere, who don’t think its important to fall up and take the courses to become a better coach/athlete. I’m sorry but how can someone call themselves a coach and expect to be paid big bucks if they barely have two years of experience being in that sport before becoming a coach? Then again even with my 16 years of experience I wouldn’t call myself an expert, just someone who knows a lot who paddles and coaches newbies… I wish my coaching was a paying gig but seeing everyone smile after practice is my award.

Whenever there is a coaching clinic/conference happening I always try and take it. I find them to be a great way to improve myself as a paddler and as a coach, there might be a drill or way someone explains something and you find it works plus who wouldn’t want to have more resources then they know what to do with them.

Anyways, I should really head to bed, today was a very long day and I have another day of a coaching conference to go to tomorrow.

If you were getting coached by someone who would you rather be coached by? Someone who’s coached for 3 years and been an athlete for 2 or someone who’s coached for 3 and had 7 years of being an athlete?

Other day when I was working out this years budget and I just realized how much money I have spent in the last 16 years in my beloved sport of Dragon Boating. Sure I could have quit the sport and saved that money for a house in one of the best areas in Vancouver but I rather paddle and live where I am out in the boonies because there are less snobs and cheap rent is good.

More I think about it, the more I might want to get another job and have this job where I am at now and have it to pay for my paddling addiction and maybe my bobsledding addiction (going to be trying the sport in the Summer and use that as my cross trainer). Guess I should crunch some more numbers and figure how much sleep I’ll be getting before I apply for another job.

Would you get a second job just to help with your sport/hobby’s addiction?

As of today Comment for a Cause has raised over $43. Thanks everyone who has commented daily.
