Sad Day, my basketball season is over.  I’ve really enjoyed coahing those kids and teaching them a sport that I love.    I miss those kids already.

The last game was a blast!  I have to say the league we were in goes out with a bang.   They had an announcer and introduced each player over the PA system.  It was so funny seeing their face when they heard their name and jersey number called.   You know the look a 7 year old boy gets when he’s trying to be cool?    Trying to hide that smile.
But to me the best part was after the game.   We had a short trophy ceremony and I got to honor each kid’s accomplishments in front of a crowd of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other supporters.    It was a small crowd of about 100 people.   I had a great time and it meant a lot to the kids too.

Two years ago I wouldn’t have dreamed of getting in front of a crowd with ease.  To be completely honest the fear of getting in front of a crowd would have kept me from coaching the team in the first place.

If your fears of public speaking are holding you back from that promotion, honoring loved ones or coaching your kid’s sports teams than you need to click here and begin conquering your speaking fears today.

Thanks for a great season
