Hobbies
I LOVE BASKETBALL! I am enjoying Krav Maga (martial art). Although both make me feel sometimes that my body hates me! I also lift weights when I am not so soar from the other two. Sounds like I am pretty busy. But they all take a back seat to my family of course. Although I don't think I can call them a hobby since they are an everyday kind of thing, and more of a fun responsibility than anything. I played 3 years of college basketball, and what makes this so interesting is that I was never recruited coming out of NOWHERE South Dakota. I attended a small private school that offered me a scholarship, and I actually played as a true freshman! All my dreams where coming true, right? The next year my school SHUT DOWN at Thanksgiving time (what a Christmas vacation that was). I had nowhere to go, no coach who believed in me as a player, nothing. I ended up transfering to another school, and hated every minute and then transfered that next year to where all my friends where and things never worked out basketball wise there. To this day I still have dreams that I go back to my first school. I see faces and hear voices that I haven't thought about in years, and every detail is just as it was when I left it. I don't know what all this has to do with anything, I am just now rambling. Oh yeah, I also coach at Skyview High School. I love coaching and being able to give back my knowledge of the game to other kids. See you all this weekend.

How interesting that the school shut down...very disappointing. What was the name of your school? Do you still play basketball for fun,then? Debbie

What great voice in your writing. You can totally hear how this part of your life has affected you. It's great that you are coll sharing a big part of your life. I also am intrigued about the martial art that you do.
