Noelle and I wanted to shared with you a webiste which was created this year  for the Eastern Oregon Volleyball Club.  Noelle and I are both coaching for the club teams.  The club director, Emily, Noelle and I decided it would be much easier to communicate with players and parents through a website and our own email.  To create the website, the club director , Emily, worked with a local FBLA chapter at the school she teaches at to help us desigin the site.  The FBLA chapter has created several websites so they were a very valuable resource.  All three of us gave input and the FBLA chapter helped us generate the website.  Of course, Noelle and I are not taking full credit for the site simply because it was a group effort.  It is also still a work i Read more »

Farm Chore Workout

            This week I spoke with a friend who had a great idea for a combined cardiovascular and muscular workout using simple materials found on a farm. My friend is a wrestler at a community college, but he also works on a relative’s farm part time during the week. He asked his coach if he could use parts of his work for his weekly workout if he developed a plan and stuck to it. The trick to this kind of workout is coming up with a number of repeatable exercises that could be accomplished during the course of a day’s work without actually changing the work itself. Read more »

Thought I would share with everyone the process of finding a new coach. Recently the EOU soccer team has been in search of a new head coach, this process has taken over four months and has not been easy. As a senior I was not involved as much as the returners but I did get the opportunity to sit in and listen to interviews for potential coaches. This was a very good way for me to watch and learn how coach interviews typically go, to prepare myself for up coming job interviews. Read more »

I currently hold the low level management position of Lifeguard III in our facility.  In reality I was becoming increasingly frustrated with the individuals in-which I am supposed to be supervising, due to the fact they were bypassing me with their problems and going directly to my supervisors.  The tension in the air was becoming thicker by the day.  It was becoming more difficult to even say, “how was your week-end?”  I finally, during my break, went to my supervisor and asked what I needed to do to resolve the situation.  We discussed things that were going on, and found out that part of the problem was that my superiors were not helping the situation for a couple of reasons.  First, they were letting them come to them with their issues and not giving me Read more »
