I am one of the track and field coaches at the middle school where I teach. This year we have between 125 and 136 students on the team depending on who has joined, quit or rejoined on a given day. Last year we had 88 student athletes and managers and we thought "wow, this is a LOT of kids." We are looking back now thinking, "Gosh, it was so easy with just 88 kids."
Coaching is a lot of fun. Who else gets to answer the question, "what are we doing at track today?" 40+ times throughout each day? Surprisingly even though I invariably answer, "Running and stuff," they ask me the same question day after day.
