I will be writing about a freewrite we did in class on 01.09.13 which also happens to be my birthday.  In this write I finally locked down the question that I was going ot work off of for my final paper.  My question is How the stress of coaching affects the spouse of the coach.  I also wrote about what perspective I would write from.  Would I write from the coaches perspective, the spouse, or kids.  I started off by saying that coaches need to find a work-life balance from the rigorous world of coaching and still maintaining a family.  I talked about how I am going to interview spouses that I know from my network of coaches that I know.  Some key terms that I came up with were:  Commitment, family, balance, pressure, maintaining, and stress. 

The next freewrite I will be talking about is the one on 01.11.13 called "binary things in my life".  Something going on in my life right now is that I am attending Bellevue College.  One thing that I get a lot of is homework.  Should I do homework during the day with my time in between classes or should I take that time to rest and do the work at home?  I think in the end the right decision was to take advantage of my time in between classes and get all the homework done that I can.  That is my normal Monday through Friday.

The last freewrite I am going to talk about was done on 01.16.13.  This was right after we turned in our first stasis theory.  I talked about how repetitive it seemed and vague.  I said the questions seemed short and very general.  The one interesting thing that came from all of it is thinking about all of the different parties involved.  When you think about coaching you don't really think about all of the families involed.  The family that is ignored the most is the coaches family.
