Mercury #6


Saturday, February 3

I am a volunteer assistant basketball coach at the YMCA for second and third grade girls basketball. Hanna is on the team I coach and this is her first year playing basketball. The name of our team is the Mercury. As most of you know, I come from a household of coaches. I looked at this as an opportunity to spend some quality time with my daughter and share with the second and third graders of Raleigh the "Warner" gift of telling you what to do;-) Although the athletic skills vary (significantly) with each kid, I have enjoyed coaching and observing how others learn, especially at such a young age.

Hanna may not have natural athletic ability but she does have heart and listens very well. Hanna's teammates have all played before and this has been hard for her to adjust to. I can honestly say she has made tremendous improvement over the past six weeks. If there was a most improved award she would win it.
