The rewards of coaching.

Elder offspring's Spring soccer season ended today. At the start of the season, I nervously volunteered to be the assistant coach for the team, because an assistant coach was needed and I was going to be at all the games and practices anyway. It's not like I had mad coaching skillz; really, I was more of a sous-coach.

Anyway, at the end of the season party tonight, the players surprised us with some awesome gifts to thank us for coaching. They gave me a membership to the Tech Museum.

Awesome kids that they are, they really didn't have to -- but I'm glad they did!

Nice gift. All I get is a $10 gift certificate for Circuit City and a team photo. Of course, that's better than what I get for being a ref!

The museum looks pretty cool -- I travel to San Jose a lot and I'll have to check it out next time.

BTW, how'd the season go?
