My story, My blog! The Beginning!

My sports involvement centers around be coaching middle school basketball, bowling two nights a week, and golfing whenenver I can (I said I am going to make a commitment to get lessons after 3 yrs on my own).

First, Middle School Coaching (basketball) has been a god sent. I took a team that was accustomed to losing at a K-8 setting and turned them around in to an average 14 win team out of 19 games. I have watched my star players join the High School Varsity ranks and acheive success. My most prize moment in coaching was to have a 6'7 13 yr older, who is nationally ranked as a freshmen this year. Of course I can't take credit for his basketball skills (god given talent), but I'd like to think that I've had something to do with character. Our team record over the past four years has been 42-21. That's not an excellent winning percentage, but pretty good.

Second, I am an average bowler. I have a 188 avg, in what I like to call a fun league, and a 183 avg in a Mens league. I have bowled since the 3 grade off and on in leagues. Why I have not gotten better is anyones guess. The highest I've ever bowled was a 279 game. I have had 5 700 series, but no perfect games (300). I strive to make tuesday night a practice for Wednesday hoping to demonstrate success on Wednesday. Last year in the fun league we lost the championship. We were considered the favorite going in and still lost.. (Ha). This year is the first year that I will be in the championship for the Mens league on Wednesday. We won the first half. Just waiting for a challenger in May.

Finally, I will keep you abreast on my golfing experience. You know, there are alot of cheaters in the game of golf. No wonder its a sport of fellowship in the business world, because everyone lies about there stroke count and scores. And just for the record, GIMMIES COUNT AS A STROKE !!

That's my story, thats my blog !

Hola! You should get bowling tips from Mr.Kaiser! J/K! But hopefully the basketball team does better without the star players and they can appreciate you as a coach and teacher =)

MR. STILL,
In my own opinion i think that some of the kids on the team are much better then the others and yes of corse last year ans the two years before that were much better with mike was the team but don't get down on youself for nothing the team just needs to relize to work together && i think they'll be fine (=

The basketball team needs a little work but they are still doing good. You are a great teacher, coach, and sports guy =]
I go bowling every tuesday also :)

you are a great coach even if you lose. winning isn't everything like our class was just talking about. as long as you're having fun.
you are also a great teacher and i love computers.
all your team has to do is try to win and listen to you and you will probably win. but even if you use enjoy being out there.
