This weekend I received a note from one of my athletes. At the end of it, he/she said, "Just read this email again..you should start a 'Dear Coach' section that posts the crazy athlete communication you get. You would change names, etc..of course. It would be pretty funny."
I hope folks don't mistake "Dear Coach" for our ever popular "Dear Asshole" section, but here goes.
"Just so you know I'm not lost at sea. I overslept and missed the Hudson this morning. xxxxxx claims to have tried to wake me up but I have no memory of this. I was very tired last night and actually have little memory of anything - like an alcohol free blackout - fueled only by exhaustion. Weird except I've done it a couple times this past year. Also when I sleep I can only dream about losing puppies and frantically looking for them - every night."
Done.
