• when i whistle, twenty sweaty guys run to me.
  • the team
  • seeing a kid learn how to play defense.
  • hearing "yes coach"
  • hearing "thanks coach"
  • walking into a gym knowing they want to beat me just because of my gender.
  • seeing the other coach get a technical because he can't believe i'm beating him.
  • knowing that all my guys know why they want to beat us, and then playing their hardest to prove them wrong.
  • the bus ride home
  • the tuff guy handshakes
  • having my guys play Varsity
  • having other athletes come to me for encouragement
  • having a winning season
  • making up nicknames
  • team huddle, hands up high, "marshall on three...1.2.3" "MARSHALL!"
