I'm actually surprised this isn't posted on the UIS homepage- www.uis.edu. Today is an awesome day for me. I get to be an assistant coach for a charity volleyball game that puts Blue Crew up against the staff and faculty at UIS. It's going to be an amazing game, I feel. From what I've been told, this match-up happens each year, but I'm not really sure if the same sport is played each year of the match.
I wonder if we are going to have a play-by-lay announcer for this match. I kind've doubt it since this isn't an actual part of the normal athletic schedule at UIS. No matter, we are still going to have a ton of fun! I predict that our staff and faculty is going to have their butts kicked by Blue Crew. If that does happen, I am certainly going to do a BIG victory dance.
I can't play in the game-which is just too bad. My disability doesn't all me to have enough balance control in order to take part in contact sports. That doesn't matter, though. I think I'm going to have a blast coaching. I've never really been an athletic coach or assistant coach before, so this is going to be a new experience for me. I am really excited about it- I wonder if I'll be a better coach than I am at being a cheering, ROWDIE member of Blue Crew. No, I don't think this would be something I'd have more talent for.
