Smack down!

It's an interesting feeling when you realize that you were smacked down by your coach. Here's the thing, it was the first real "I'm an athlete" feeling I've had. And, it wasn't in a stereotypical gruff, caustic coach kind of way. It was the simple, honest truth. Granted, it was likely spoken in haste, but it was what it was. Ya gotta love that. And, in the end, there was also a phone call this morning with a gracious apology for something that didn't even bother me at the time. That's class.
