Six long years.

Don't worry, starpug; I know what it's like to have an absolutely brutal coach.

Brutal is not my problem. Our coach just doesn't have a crystal ball to see who's going to do well.

Me?

Seventeen years Event Sup and SO Management. So long ago, the Amish in Indiana had a technological edge when it came to Mission Possible. In real life, I've already had a few kids come up to me and tell me that I judged their mom or dad.

Three seasons as an assistant coach, B Division. One year paid. This coming season I assistant coach two teams, MS & HS. Personally, I've found Coaching to be a lot harder because there's more to do-- and also because I have nowhere as much experience at it as I do Supering. Even Sup requires a lot of very specific experience.
