So this one hurt a bit. All the families arrived back in Guangzhou this weekend - I went to the clubhouse to take Martin swimming. Freddie was in the lobby with 8 or 9 of his middle school friends. One of them, Sean, is an 8th grade (good athlete - his dad works at Nike!) and was on Freddie's local basketball team last year. I was the assistant coach.
Sean said hi to me. "Hi Freddie's Dad!"
Hi, Sean. How was your summer?
"Good. Hey - are you going to coach basketball again this year?"
You mean in the league that starts in January? Uh, I don't know. Probably.....
"Oh good! I love it when you coach and yell at the Chinese officials all the time!"
Oh - that's why you want me to coach? For your entertainment?
"It's great! You yell and they have no idea what you are saying!"
Maybe I should tone it down a bit in 2014.....
