Closing Out 2016: Coach Life


I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the banquet on Thursday, Nov. 3, where the girls can get their letters and other awards and we can celebrate another successful season, the 40th of Webster Softball.
Thanks to Chris Fechtel for organizing the Pancake Breakfast last Saturday. Chris did a great job for the girls (and me) this year and this final activity was just one more example. Glad Kate Wylie was also able to join us for the fun and the season and I look forward to working with both of them again next year.
We’re pretty sure we will also be rejoined by Coach Tim Cerutti. It is a testament to Coach Gibson that we have such a large, experienced and competent coaching staff. I don’t think you’ll find any other high school of any size with eight (8!) coaches helping the young women of our program develop as players and people.
While Kate and Chris joined the girls at their table, I got a chance to schmooze with the parents who joined us. My journey into and through coaching has been somewhat atypical and, for those who are interested, I’m linking five articles from my other blogs about that process. Warning: these are my general interest blogs and therefore cover topics that can be personal, political, or philosophical. It’s all very PG but if you’re curious you may find yourselves treading some different kind of water.
Thanks again for a great season and see you on Thursday, November 3.
