I really just soaked in the whole year of coaching, both Xcel and preschool. Xcel regionals stands out to me, but so do the little things, like setting up for preschool clases with my boss (the owner) while her husband sang loudly as he cleaned the bathrooms in the mornings.
I am officially done coaching, at least for now, as I'm just about a month from having our first baby and the plan for the foreseeable future is to have babies and homeschool them. I've been coaching in some capacity for the last 17 years, and it's been my full time job for the last 9, so the new year definitely has me feeling reflective and nostalgic. Xcel regionals are local again this season, so I'm hoping it works out to take our daughter to her first gymnastics meet and cheer on the athletes I am just so proud of.
