Hey Coach!

The next day I got up earlier so I could get a morning workout in. I went to the campus gym because after my workout I plan on going to meet my new coach for softball. I am excited to get back into a routine. When I was back in high school, I would wake up for a morning skate or workout, school, afternoon skate, softball practice, and then sleep. I would wake up and do it all over again. I was a straight A student, dedicated to my sports, and I had a social life at times. I never really had the family to push me to do it so I found some fellow sports people and we pushed each other. We became family and it was sad to leave them. But, we made a pack to see each other, they would drive down here one every two months and I would drive up there one every two months. I am hoping to make some friends up here so I am not just in my apartment all the time.

After a two hour workout I go to the locker room to take a shower and get changed. Once I was done I grabbed all of my things and found my new coaches office. Her name is Holly Aprile.

“Hi Coach Aprile? My name is Addison Michaels.” I walked into her office.

“Oh, yes. Hi Addison. Come have a seat and I will show you the practice schedule.” I sat down and she took out a calendar. “We have work outs as a team at 6pm every weekday. If you can’t make the team workouts just make sure you time your own work outs. But, you are only allowed to miss practice twice a month. Our practices will get more intense when the games start to pick up in the spring. We only have about 2 months to practice outside, once snow hits we just do work outs in the gym. Now, I understand you also figure skate. Is that right?”

“Yes, I do. It usually doesn’t get in the way of softball because I am my own coach and I set when I want ice time. I work out every morning for two hours, then I go to classes, I try to get some ice time in before I have dinner. Then I would go to practices and then to home. When would practices be?”

“Practices would be at 4 to 6. Because you work out on your own everyday you do not have to come to team workouts. It would be nice because you would get to know the girls on the team better but I understand that you skate and I would not like to push your body.”

“I would be willing to come to team practices every other day. My classes are from 9:30am to 2:45pm Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. And then one class on Tuesday, Thursday at noon. So I should be fine when it comes to time for skates and practice.”

“Don’t push yourself to much Addison, you know you have to maintain a 3.0 to stay on the team.”

“Yes, and I will because to have a social life for myself I must have a 3.5. I should be fine, I have never dropped below a 3.7. I will be honest with you, I am training for the 2014 Olympics, if I get keep winning my skating competitions I might have to quit softball. It has never been a problem and it won’t happen for another year but I want to be up front right now.”

“Thank you for being up front and I am sure the girls and I will love to see you compete so keep us up to date about the competitions. Now, get going, your first class starts soon. I will see you tonight at 4. Bring all of your softball gear. Bye Addison.”

“See you later Coach Aprile.” I smiled waling out of her office and to my car.

I grabbed some breakfast at the café on campus. Classes were boring as most classes are, and I already had homework. I hated it but I knew I had to get it done. I went home and made me a huge salad with chicken. As I was eating I started on my homework. Once it hit 3:45 I got ready for practice with some clothes to change into after practice, grabbed my ice skating stuff and left for practice.

Once at practice I met the girls and the other coaches. One thing I liked about the coaches here is that it is practice; they don’t take it easy on you because it is your first practice. Once I was done with practice I went and took a shower and got changed into my skating stuff clothes. I said good bye to all the girls and the coaches.

I drove to the ice rink, once inside I grabbed my skates and iPod from my bag. Once ready I got on the ice and did some warm up laps. I needed to work on my Flying Camel, and Calchow, also I needed to practice my Triple Axle and Triple Lutz. There were not many skaters on the ice right now because it is a late skate time. But, I had fun and got some great work done on my problem areas. When there are not many skaters on the ice it means I can do more jumps than normal.

The rest of the week went the same way. I saw Leigha one Tuesday and Thursday and it just got me more excited for Saturday. Friday was one of the longest day ever, or it felt like it was. Friday night I could not sleep, so I texted Leigha.

I can not sleep. X Addi X

Awe, why? <3Leigha

Too excited about 2morrow. XAddiX

Me too, I am excited for you to meet some of the guys. <3Leigha

Who is all coming? XAddiX

That is a surprise. But, I just know you will be meeting some new people. <3 Leigh

No fun! Well, I am going to try to get some sleep. Night Leigha! XAddiX

Night Addi! See you at noon. <3Leigha


I put my phone on my bed stand and looked at the time. The clock blared at me that it was midnight. It was late for me, and I have ice time at 6:30. Oh how I hate not being able to sleep. I turned on some music and finally passed out.
