Venice Season Ends – One day Short

This was the post I was hoping
not to have to write, we lost in three games to Leon High School of Tallahassee
in the State Semi Final match last night. Obviously it was a huge disappointment.
We just did not play our game, too many errors and when you get to that level
the other team will capitalize, which they did. None the less I am very proud
of this group of young ladies. It was been very gratifying to watch them grow
up and mature as people and players. As I have said many times on this blog
they are special group of people. I will always cherish the memories of working
with this group. I also want to thank Brian Wheatley, the head coach, who runs
a heck of a program and the assistant coaches that allowed me to be a part of
this experience. We were all wishing for one more day, and one more match, but
it wasn’t meant to be. I now close the door on this phase of my coaching career
with many conflicting emotions. I wish I could still work with the Venice
program but the travel demands of my consulting business do not allow me to put
in the time commitment necessary. I cannot expect a commitment out the athlete
if I am not able to give the same commitment. Ladies, thanks for the great
memories, you are number one in my heart!
