A Day of Kohawk Tennis

7 AM - Coach's likely arrival time to the Racquet Center with daily computer work and admin duties ahead.

8:45 AM - Kris back to her house after dropping Emmie off at school. On the computer working!

9:30 AM - Coach picks up coffee and runs daily errands on campus (mailroom, etc).

10:30 AM - With 6+ hours of physical activity ahead, Kris stops at Sam's Club to get a soft pretzel and fountain Coke (2 of her 12 weaknesses from a nutrition standpoint). Her intelligent indulgence took a turn for the worse; Sam's Club now has a new pretzel supplier and they are NOT up to par! Consider the phrase intelligent indulgence first coined and patented here:
a. The act, or an instance of gratification, using sound judgment and rationality as the justification or basis for.
ex: consuming my mother's coffee cake (made with WHOLE WHEAT flour)
ex: consuming my mother's almond roca (layer of DARK CHOCOLATE on top)
ex: inhaling mass amounts of sugar via soda pop, and enriched flour (breaks down to sugar) in soft pretzel form immediately before 6 hours of physical activity
2 more of my weaknesses now exposed. As a coach, I don't necessarily condone the latter example. Although, I recently read the following article which did make me feel better about the act. Sorry, sidetracked.....back to the schedule.

11 AM - Kris on court with Nikki Kuehl (former #1 at Coe) per her own training.

12 PM - Rob on court with Hiroshi. Kris on court with Hoffmann.

12:30 PM - Coach on court with JR.

1 PM - Kris's fitness class.

1:30 PM - Coach on court with Daken. JR and Mike White (the Vice President of Administrative Services at Coe, and an accomplished player himself) on court. Food for Rob.

2 PM - Coach on court with Kris. Hiroshi still on court....now with Julien (a foreign exchange student on the team the year prior) and 2 other classmates. Rob practice planning a doubles segment.

3 PM - Rob on court with Noah. Jackie on court hitting serves.

3:30 PM - PRACTICE! 3 coaches and all players on court.

5:15 PM - Practice wraps up. Daken and Sean stay. Leo and Rob stay.

6 PM - Rob has a lesson.

7 PM - Rob on court with Klaas.

10 PM - Rob's likely departure time from the Racquet Center. Kris typing this post; more recruiting work to do before bed.

Total # of text messages I received from players throughout the day: 13
Total # of text messages I received from tennis alums throughout the day: 9
Total # of text messages or emails I received from Coach today: 12

Can't imagine what those #'s would be if Rob and Coach included......

Somewhere in that mix, racquets strung (by Rob and Coach), rain, more rain and a self imposed timed mile.

Emmie's quote of the day after bumping into Wrigley (one of our dogs)...."Sorry Mommy, I broke Wrigley."
