I´ve worked as a temp on an overnight shift at a furniture warehouse since I´ve returned from England to keep some semblance of cash flow. Monday is tough because I usually get home about 700am (a little earlier this morning -- work is slow) and have to be up before 300pm to get ready for ODP and make the drive across town. It´s tough to get to sleep, because I usually have a head full of ideas on Monday, thinking through the sessions for the week and getting excited about working with the players.
Today is especially tough, but I´ve got to drink a glass of juice and go to bed. We will be working on set pieces with the ODP boys tonight, and I will introduce them to briefing charts so the substitutes can see exactly what their tasks are so when there is a set-piece there is no confusion about who takes what role. I´ll also be talking with the Gaffer, Andy Burgess, this afternoon. We are going to talk about the upcoming season with PNE, working with Corby Town (Andy is player/coach at Corby this season), and a couple of ideas for business projects that we have. And then there is the managerial vacancy at Torquay to talk about, and Andy and family have a new dog.
To add to all of that, Century starts academy evaluations and team tryouts next week. As I have in the past tryouts, I will be using a couple of exercises from the FA Soccer Star Challenge Program to generate objective assessment numbers for the evaluations. Beyond that, though, I need to plan out the tryouts and give an outline to the evaluators of what qualities I want them to consider in their evaluations.
Right now I don´t want to sleep -- all of these things on the agenda, and I want to jump in. But I can´t do it all at once -- no one can. So it´s to bed for a few hours of rest and hard at it this afternoon.
