So now I'm coaching 2 sports and at times on 2 different teams with much less qualifications than many other parents, you are not allowed to coach either of these sports without being certified, which involves a couple of weekends and or evenings of classroom training depending on the level you would like to coach. You need a record check, first aid, respect in sport(which is different for each sport) and in hockey, a specific sports injury first aid. No wonder it's hard to find coaches. So, no problem I do it all. A lot of time put in before I even hit the ice or a diamond. None of this may seem relevant to Kung Fu but it's part of "My Balancing Act".

    Now after 3 months of training out of the Kwoon I returned, not as polished, but not having to relearn anything because even tho I was no longer registered I kept on practicing. Right back to working hard so I can catch back up to a few of the people I had been training with before my absence. This is the point where I joined the San Sou, and started to attend Tuesday's also. One more evening away from my family. At this point I don't think I'm missed that much because the kids go to bed shortly after I leave for class. Plus I incorporated them into some of my training. They would sit on my back for push-ups and on my feet for sit-ups. Also, as kids do, they would copy me as I did forms.
