Cleaning up my egging neighbors back yard as a result of the heavy winds from hurricane Debbie in our county on the east Florida coast. They are on vacation and normally I only take care of the pool but this was a surprise.
Cut up the limbs of the large branches from this Live Oak tree and placed in the green recycle bin for pickup today.
Got most of it off his grass and then cleaned leaves out of the pool and the Poseidon cleaner; it filled up twice while I was cutting the limbs. Will do more after the green recycle bin is collected tomorrow. Photo does not adequately show the size of that branch; 6' tall fence with 8' sections. Hope to have it all cut and removed from the back yard before they get home from Tennessee.Ubi panis, ibi patria.

I would definitely not declare victory with this thread until it rolls over, declares victory and volunteers to go to the oven. Several Frankenstein movies are famous for the phrase " It's alive."

Thanks @JohnInCarolina for the Don Bragg article. I believe he was the first vaulter to clear 15' way back when. Lost in the history of track and field greats like Rafer Johnson (decathlon), John Thomas (high jump), Wilma Rudolph (track), Al Oreter (discus) and Harold "Hal" Connolly in the hammer throw.
Now old, back then I parlayed my knowledge of world class and Olympic track and field stars to win several sports trivia (before the game) bar sessions.

I think he is the last Olympic pole vaulter to use a metal pole.
He was actually in the running to go to the 56 Olympics, but he broke his arm during the trials or something like that. My father and his whole family were in attendance for that and saw it happen. I think it was a pretty bad break. My father would not let me do the pole vault in high school as a result of what he had seen happen to Don. I don’t think that was all that sensible but there were a few red lines my father had with me when I was growing up and that was one of them. Funny how I remember that."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -

Shamefully, I had seen that and commented back in January. My memory just isn’t all that great and because I didn’t know the member personally, I failed to make the connection.Thanks for reminding me.

I was always told the reason why you play soccer is so you don't have to watch it."The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

Good on you for helping out. My buddy asked the parents of his son's basketball team if anyone would help volunteer coach or to help with practices. He didn't get one volunteer. All the parents did was drop their kids off and leave. He said the worst part was their parents would try and tell him how to coach their kid during games. He was constantly trying not to lose his sh!t on other players parents.
Just you showing up and helping is huge. Hopefully you'll get a few other parents to jump in. Make sure your vocal about how it takes multiple heads to coach a team. My brother-in-law is my nieces assistant soccer coach. He absolutely loves it!

My oldest son turns 29 this month. I coached his little league baseball teams for many years. Some parents are hard to deal with and some are great. Overall, I loved it and wouldn’t change those years for nothing in the world. Those years were truly good times.

It's 8 and under so hopefully the parents aren't too bad. Didn't seem to be the first practice at least. I know the coach so that seems to have led to it. They didn't troll for suckers, only one. Me. While I want to win I definitely want them to have a good experience even more. I'll keep y'all updated. Wish me luck

@Elijah Congrats for stepping up to the challenge. At U8 it is barely above swarm ball but the kids start to get it.
One thing I learned very early on was the following regarding taking a shot; I asked what was the last thing they looked at before focusing on hitting the ball. Answer- "the keeper" so their objective was to put it where he/she wasn't. Of course that placement was not there and most shots never got on frame.
The solution was to shoot it at the keeper. At least that got more shots on frame and led to increased scoring. FWIW-from a few decades ago. Good luck!Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -

Get the shortest book you can find on how to coach soccer. It will have a few drills that can help the kids develop individual and passing skills and it will tell you some principles to follow. There may also be a workshop for beginner coaches in your area where you can learn some good drills and principles.
Some bullet points:
- Focus on skill development over winning games. Some parents will want you to work on trick plays from free kicks, etc to win more games but skill development is more important.
- Recognize that youth soccer isn't about "soccer". It's about learning to be a good teammate and learning to develop skills that don't come naturally and learning to receive feedback and learning how to win (graciously) and learning how to tie (an unusual thing in American culture) and learning how to lose (I always wanted the kids to be bothered by a loss for a number of minutes that is 2-4 times their age - then go about being kids again - then show up to practice remembering the loss so they would focus on getting better), etc.
- If your kid is old enough, good enough, and interested enough to be on a competitive club team, get them there so a better coach can do the training.
I could write many more pages of stuff but I'll stop there.
