I just finished my second week of classes in my Masters in Business program and will be heading to some friends’ house tonight for dinner. Given our cooking skills and limited cooking repertoire, Courtney and I have been jumping at every opportunity we get to eat something other than our home-cooked meals, whether its Kojak taking us out to eat, going to a friend’s house for dinner, or eating Anne Marie’s (Courtney’s teammate) homemade lasagna. We’re slowly becoming more adept in the kitchen (with the help of team manager Theresa), but for now we appreciate the change of cuisine.
After losing our first game on the road last weekend, we have a big doubleheader this weekend. We had a good week of practice and talked through some of the things we need to do differently as a team, so I am confident we are going to flip the script this weekend.
I also started my coaching responsibilities at Gaelcholáiste Cheatharlach, a local Irish school in Carlow. I worked with a group of girls on Monday and some “lads” on Wednesday. We ran through some of the plays we use with my team and a couple drills. I look forward to my sessions with these kids throughout the year and hope to develop a connection with them going forward. I might try to get involved with the school as well.
