What's been going on...
It's been a long time since I last wrote anything, and a lot has happened. No surprise there.
Anyway, my youngest graduated this year and is now at Purdue, which makes next season the first that I won't have a child on the team. It will be certainly different.
Last year was also different, it was the best year ever, the team had the most successful season to date, the reasons for which are manyfold. Since the last post of 2006, which was our first season at the school, lots has happened, and not all of it good. What once was a bright future at the school as we entered that phase turned out rather poorly. I could go into the whole story with volumes of why that was so, but suffice to say that one leader was less than stellar and had a position of authority which was abused, IMHO. That person has been removed; a cancer excised and healing has begun.
That is all past us, all connections have been severed and we're on a path to grow the team in the school. Bridges that were burned by the individual mentioned above are being rebuilt by the successor. Preparations are being made to move ahead, dwelling on the past only long enough to learn from the mistakes made.
One of the biggest changes is the sharing of our training sessions with other teams. We put a lot of time into these sessions and want to share what we've learned. We also want to gain knowledge from others and incorporate that knowledge into our sessions. That is now possible.
Unlike the last few seasons, I will not take so long to share my thoughts.
