Job Change

This past summer has been absolutely insane! For the past two years Craig has been not only the Women's Tennis Coach @ BYU but one of the athletic dept. Sport Psychology Consultants. It's been a ton of work and too much travel time. {I think this one of the main reasons why Kimball dislikes me so much & favors Craig~although, my hubby is totally awesome and full of fun!} He felt it was time to make the switch to full time Sport Psychology Consultant. After a summer of unknowns, we finally negotiated the week before school went back a part time contract @ BYU. He is still up at the US Olympic Ski Team once a week. He is loving working with all types of athletes & helping them perform better.

Totally shallow as it seems, one of our concerns with the change was the kids & what they thought. McKay especially has always loved that Craig is a coach at BYU. He's always been very proud of it and the girls. He's checking who won, who's doing well, where there from, wanting to know more about their culture etc. But they have embraced this change. Craig has been working on a book for the last two years. When a publisher wanted to pick it up, McKay couldn't have been prouder. Either could I! {Don't worry, as soon as it comes out, I'll let you all know!}Photobucket

Wow! That's great that Craig can be home more. It's probably also nice to have him doing something he loves. It's made all the difference with Lance and his new job! Congratulations Craig!

Could you please post some pictures of the sports psych. consultant on the ski slope taking in some jumps. Preferably aerial shots.

Thanks

That ski jumping sure looks easier than hitting a tennis ball

Good for him! I bet it was hard to leave his job, but if he's happier in his work it's worth it!
