Thanks. There's nothing like coaching youth sports. The kids all believe you're some kind of larger-than-life sports star/hero...even when your wife tells you otherwise!

For most kids, anyone who is both adult and. . . . . . . there. . . . . . . . is larger than life.

Yep. I'm coaching my sons basketball team. Way fun.

you mean they even let you play????

So speaking of my daughter, who I think has great potential as a stand-up comedian...
On Thursday, I took her to her first volleyball practice. I guess I looked kind of official because I was carrying one of those zip-up portfolios, planning to work on the soccer line-ups while she was practicing.
.
Anyway, some one came up to me and asked if I was the coach. Without hesitation, my "precious" daughter said "no, he's not the coach because he sucks at volleyball." I actually used to be pretty good in HS and college, but that was many moons ago. It's always nice when your litttle one expresses so much faith in you!

you missed your cue to show off awesomeness in talent by getting right in the game to show off.

You'll do awesome.

ditto.

Oh, I just got it.
You didn't rep me for volunteering, you rep'd me because of the team name. Boy am I dense at 10:00 PM!
My daughter loves anything and everything to do with cats. Last season she came up with the name "Bluecats" and lobbied hard for that team name (and won). Wildcats was a joint effort. We actually had to think of a name BEFORE getting unforms so couldn't use anything with a color in the name.
.
For the sake of my rep, I'm glad we rejected "Bobcats."

Wildcats is an awesome name for a pack of teen girls. . .. ..

Thanks man. I always tease my lil bro, tell him I won't hesitate to tell at him in front of all of his friends.

But yeah. Teaching, helping. Both have always been up my alley. I think about how much of an impact my coaches, my teachers have had on me as a human being, and I feel utterly indebted to express my gratitude by carrying the torch, and helping the next generation.

There's a really significant book called "Being There". It was required reading in university graduate philosophy courses.

"Being There" is of fundamental significance to the young of our species. It means everything. Some say if you don't do it, you don't even exist.

Here is the movie, based on the book . . . . . .:
