I hope I never feel like this day is a normal day. That would mean I have forgot about you Chris. I love and miss you with all my heart and soul.

[Chad Schumacher @Nodak91]

Today is the day I dred in my life. I know this day is coming and I can't change it. 2 years ago this day left my heart and soul with a void that will never be filled.

I know grieving takes time. I thought it would start to ease in me. I keep asking myself what I could of done differently to help him.
These days I am like the duck on water. Outside I look calm but underneath I am fighting like hell to keep going everyday.

Kort decided Papa needed to come to practices until he feels comfortable. Now Tues & Thurs I go to Norfolk for practice. Feels pretty good to be in a wrestling room again for a little while.
Anyone have size 12 wrestling shoes I may use? Threw my old ones away when I retired.

Granson Kort decided to go out for wrestling again in Norfolk. I told him I knew the head HS coach there. Said I would talk to him.

The 10 Inconvenient Truths of Coaching

1. Not every kid wants to be great.

2. You will be misunderstood, often.

3. Some parents care more about playing time than team success.

4. Your best players aren’t always your best leaders.

5. No system works without buy-in.

6. Success brings criticism, too.

7. Culture isn’t built in a week, it’s built daily.

8. You can’t coach every player the same way.

9. Wins don’t always reflect your impact.

10. The job will take more from you than it gives, until years later.

Still worth every second.

Still a greatest profession.

Memorial Day is a day to remember those who gave all for our country. God bless them and their families.
This post is not to take away from this sacrifice.
Please also remember those who made it home and lost their battle.

“The only people Jesus condemned were those who used religion to hurt others.

I refuse to let Christian Nationalists twist a religion of love to justify their hate.”

@scottguzman I had that talk every year with the JH kids. Axe showers are not real showers.

[Chad Schumacher @Nodak91]

@scottguzman Congrats coach!

[Chad Schumacher @Nodak91]

Well, that should put to and end the "Alabama should be in the playoff talk"!

Thank you to all who served. We owe a great deal to veterans. Thank you all my relatives, friends, students, & athletes who have served.
Thank you to my son, Chris in heaven. Miss you dearly everyday. Please listen & help those veterans with PTSD. We lose 22 a day with this.
