TAking It to HEart

Hummmm...... Being a coach's wife is fun, but sometimes the scars are more visible from the result of a game. Each coach deals with loss differently. My coach maybe down for a day or two, but refocuses and gets back to fixing the problems. Others might take it to heart. As the wife of the coach when you truly enjoy what your husband does, you take each game to heart, win or lose. The experience is very tender and genuine. A loss for most people is sad, but is gotten over quickly. I totally don't understand why NFL games make my husband so mad, its not like he sees the money. I do know why he may get upset with his own team, because we do see the money from this. Currently no money, but the loss is in the legacy. All anyone cares really is if the team is winning. Back to taking things to heart. A loss to me is so much harder, I first hear the fans talk about the loss, while waiting for the coach, I see and talk to the players, and I come home and talk some more to the coach over the loss. Now my kids are giving sad faces and saying "We didn't win right?" All directions, and so one cut is the loss, and every mention there after is just deepening the wound. I know most coach's wives don't take the loss to heart, but I am what you would call over emotional anyway. I tend to take a lot of things to heart. Wins fill my heart with joy. I feel it again from every angle, families, players, and coach. So if it is win or lose taking games to heart is part of the business. Future coach's wives, get use to it.  Trust me your coach will appreciate it!
