Quote:I am definitely more calm as well. I think once I had kids, it changed the way I felt after one of my favorite teams loses. It's more like well it sucked we lost but there are just important things to worry about.


 

Having said that...if the Jaguars do ever win a Super Bowl in my lifetime, I will probably cry like a baby.

 

I think that's the key; having perspective. Once I saw what role I had in sports, it changed the way I acted. Once I realized that I was "out of the game", watching became much more boring for me. I think that's a big part of why I got into coaching. While I'm not out on the field, I am working every day towards being better, keeping competitive, and learning new things.

 

It's a different experience, but it's a whole lot more satisfying than just sitting on a barstool/couch/stadium seat watching someone else have all of the fun.
