Hump Day Morning Observations

It has been a heck of a week already, both in the good and in the slightly painful. I am learning a lot about myself, about others, and even more about the fragility of young girls. Having been one myself, and being a particularly sensitive person, I thought I was aware. What I'm learning is that no matter how much I think I know, and how much I try to soften blows when necessary, I will sometimes fail. And the thing is, as long as I do the very best I can, take responsibility, be accountable, and learn from it, I think that's OK. Obviously, the last thing I want to do is hurt or upset anyone. But because I'm an imperfect being, it will happen. And I can assure you, if I inadvertently hurt someone, it's going to hurt me, too.

My point, I suppose, is this: I would rather know if there's a problem so I can do my best to fix it, instead of not knowing, or only hearing about the issue when it's too late. Consider this an open invitation to contact me with your concerns. As hard as it may be for me to hear that I've done something less than perfectly, I need to hear about it so I can avoid the same mistakes in the future. I want to learn to be the best I can be in the realm of youth athletics, and I'm going to need your help. Thank you!
