Tim Kolodziej New Castle News New Castle News Thu Jul 26, 2012, 04:06 AM EDT

NEW CASTLE — It’s your third game of the season, and you’re struggling.

You’re playing hard, you’re being a good teammate, but you’re really, really struggling.

And you’re searching for answers.

•She made the starting team. You wouldn’t even make your bed.

And you wonder why you’re struggling.

• Tim Kolodziej: A very important message from your child’s coach

  With the spring sports schedule winding to a close, I had a thought: What would a coach say if he could send a note to each of his parents to place a period on the end of a season — and look ahead to what the future holds? Here’s what I would write.

• Tim Kolodziej: Just one word is keeping me — and probably you — from excellence

  We all need to take a good, hard, scary look at exactly what it is we’ve been created to do. The thing that makes our heart race and brings a smile to our face. The thing that not only YOU can’t live without — but neither can WE when you are doing it.

• Tim Kolodziej: Yes, I do have a ‘nice team’ — and I'm OK with that

  “You have a nice team, Coach.” I used to HATE hearing that while shaking our opponents’ hands following a game.
