Eliminating the Noise

[Mad Mike]

Jim Evans taught us to carry a small notebook and pencil in our pocket. In between innings, write down what you did well and what you want to post-game. It might be a judgement call, it might be a rule application, it might even be how you dealt with an asshat coach or player (or in some cases did not deal with them properly). Anyway, the point here is to write it down so you can make sure to post-game it with your partner and more importantly, FLUSH it and move on. I have found that writing it down allows me the freedom to let it go because I can address it post-game.

If that's the case, I would advise carrying a small roll of toilet paper. Notebook paper would likely clog.

ok, just me being me..................

I worked with a guy a few years back, that before we walked onto the field, he took his hearing aids out and left them in the truck. Never heard a single parent complain. Literally.

 

In my case, SWMBO calls it selective hearing (just because she wasn't selected).  However, I call it Military Grade Tinnitus.
