    I needed to keep the distractions down for a little while at work. I've been having some troubles concentrating. Although I may be able to post more often in the evenings now that I cannot work my second job.

    So, I am way past stoked. i finished my bronze coaching certification seminar today. My instructor was none other than Pat Costello. Yes, to those who know their bowling history she is a multi-time winner of the women's US Open, Gold coach, former coach at UCF where Stephanie Nation starred. The list of Pat's clients is extensive and impressive. In 1986 her student, Wendy McPherson beat her in the US Open semi-final. Also in attendance were former touring pro Mart Miller. His disciple Kristina Frahm, 3 time all american, national champion as player her senior year and then as head coach the following year at UMECS.
    There were plenty of other college coaches (Pikeville) and former PBA players taking this class. There was a ton of information and hands on coaching with volunteers (free coaching, why not). It felt good to hear from Pat that my hands on was dead on. I worked with Tulane Universities #8 bowler and look forward to seeing her progress. She has only been bowling 8 months but her sheer athletic ability makes her a quick study.

    Congtaz Bill. My dad always said the best a man could hope for is to spend his life doing what he loves. I can tell how much you enjoy coaching and it's gratifying to see you're willing to put forth the time and expense to increase your skills. I'm sure you already know that you get as much out of it as the student does. Are you planning on going for the silver next?

    Definitely but still haven't looked up the requirements. I did volunteer to coach during our centers USBC youth program this coming season. What better way to spend a Saturday morning?

    I just checked. Have to hold bronze for one year before you can attend the silver. The price is a little high in my opinion, $495 just for the manual and seminar.

    Sounds like you had a great time Bill. You have a year now to save up for the Silver level. Keep up the hard work.

    Here's the catch. I was planning on taking the pro shop cert class next year. That's more than the silver and I haven't talked to my wife about either yet. Most things bowling related she doesn't question but with hotels, etc we're talking about 3k combined. Plus I probably won't have any vacation time as I plan on changing jobs.

    That is going to be tough. 3k, no vacation time, and you still have to clear it with your wife. If you do go, save your receipts. The tax deductions will at least recoup some of the money.

    I have been. The IRS is going to be scratching their heads trying to figure out why somebody would start a business with so much going out and so little coming in. O well, their problem, I have the proof

    Are you kidding Bill? There are many businesses that borrow lots of money to spend on the business long before they start bringing anything in.
