Taking the kids to the field on a really hot day and creating games for them to play.a few of them went "running" inside at transition stating they felt faint while outside.but didnt tell me anything while they played.

When i had a parent talk down to a kid that his daughter didnt get along with.i had to maintain a good composure and all i wanted to do was tell him his kid was no angel and he shouldn't put blame blame on other kids.it was 10 word but they hurt the kids feelings.

We sat and talked with our boss.and reached a deal.things have been much better since

The kids.they are really sweet and funny.

I instructed Rom for the seniors for 12 years.We became family and friends.They and I got stronger and healthier.Great times enjoying coffee togeather after class,lunch on the town,pot luck,bingo,and the wonderful trips.Like I said i had a YMCA FAMILY.

You have to be a people person u get the family and kids to like you makes the job a whole lot easier. Have to be active moving around a lot helping out families and playing and teaching the kids.
