Ending a season

Everyone knows ends of things aren't great, except the charred bits on a good piece of BBQ meat. Well, each sports season comes to an end. Having football work different in another country is a challenge. While high school ends around beginning December for those lucky to make it deep in playoffs, here we kind of play year round depending on the team. One team my husband coached just ended their inaugural season. With a heart wrenching loss. Sometimes it is better to lose by a lot then to get really close and lose because of other factors not in your control. This year the team lost because of one bad call. I remember another team that ended their season because the star quarterback blew out his knee at the first few plays of the game. And we were beaten by a landslide. Still it is never easy finishing a season, especially when you are close to the team and know how much they deserve the recognition. Being a coaches wife, like I said, you take it to heart. But the best advice I can give a new coaches wife, is always keep mentioning the positives. Like, "Now you have time to golf(fish,computer)" , or "So who do you want on your fantasy team next year?" Or "when does the NFL combine start?" If you are a coaches wife and don't know what fantasy football, or the NFL combine is, LOOK IT UP! It might save your life one day! Or if your coach is a real sports fanatic like mine, you can always talk about baseball recruits and trades, their doing that crap all the time, and its just a google search away. Happy Distracting you end of season Coach's wives!
